Obama and the Big Donors to his Inauguration

For a guy that claims he has a real problem with big business and the wealthy, he sure showers them with gifts when they throw money at him.  Notice the part about the democrats lifting the voluntary ban on donor money - it was a ruse to get votes, but now that they've won again, they don't care about it . . .

The biggest donors to President Barack Obama's second inauguration have been notified on what benefits will be available to them during that day's festivities.

Corporations and other organizations that donate in the highest bracket - $1 million - will have access to a children's concert, "benefactors reception," and four tickets to the official inaugural ball, among other perks. The bonuses were outlined in a solicitation from the Presidential Inaugural Committeeto potential donors, and provided to the New York Times by an Obama fundraiser.

Private individuals who contribute the legal maximum of $250,000 will be given the same offerings as the million dollar donation from an "institution." Institutions can include corporations, unions, charities, and other organizations.

The benefits are separated into four individual "packages," each corresponding to the level of donation. Each is named after a former president: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison; a copy of the solicitation can be found here.

As reported by ABC News on Friday, the inaugural committee has reversed a voluntary ban on the donor money, imposed by Obama on the inauguration four years ago and during the 2012Democratic National Convention.
