Buffett Helps Put on Clinton Fundraiser

Guests at a high dollar fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton Tuesday were treated to cocktails, dinner, and an hourlong business tutorial from billionaire Warren Buffett.

Buffett, the founder of the Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and one of the world's richest men, co-hosted the fundraiser, which brought in at least $1 million for Clinton's presidential effort.

Buffett, a Democrat, has not formally endorsed Clinton, but guests at the dinner said he called the New York senator ''the person to run the country.''

Buffett is also expected to host an event for rival Democrat Barack Obama later this summer and has spoken favorably about the presidential prospects of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who recently left the Republican Party to become an independent.

What makes you think he's a THUG?

Usually the ubber-wealthy, especially from stock market, are Repugs.

But, I honestly first thought 'Jimmy'.

Have Warren and Jimmy ever met?

Jimmy has made a lot off of Warren's investments too.

... Then the NY Times should have created the damned title indicating that he's throwing fundraisers for a handful of candidates..

Obama's Fundraiser is later on in the summer and so is Bloombergs..
