Excerpt:

$$$$$: Happy Birthday, buddy!

Sneed hears real estate mogul Neil Bluhm is tossing a private birthday party here for President Obama, who turns 49 on Aug. 4.

• The shocker: The dinner invite to the Barack bash at Bluhm's home requires a $30,000 donation to the Democratic National Committee!

• The stunner: Obama is also scheduled to be in town Aug. 5 for a fund-raiser at the Palmer House for U.S. Senate hopeful Alexi Giannoulias, who is hoping to capture Uncle Rocky's old seat.

They once had a birthday party for me. It cost $10 for all the beer you could drink. I don't know how many people showed up because I couldn't afford the $10.:D

You keep that up, Bobby, and you will never get canceled! :lol:

[Steve 'StatMan']

What do you buy for a present, when the cost to attend is $30,000?

[Tom]

A nice frame for his birth certificate?

You know this butt plug will be in attendance.

Ah phooey, Im disappointed, when I saw this thread I thought that maybe they were going to pay ME thirty big ones if I agreed to attend his birthday party.:( It would have been difficult, but just might have bitten my lip and gone, since I could use the money, due to a rather nasty current slump at the track.:blush:
