Like George Clooney's $40,000 per plate soriee for the Obama campaign. $40,000 per plate is obsene, elitist and verifys that Deomcrats are out of touch with the average guy. Of all of the negative human emotions "disgust" is the worse because it is the only one that has to be learned. I am thoroughly "disgusted" thinking about people spending $40,000 for a meal when so many people in the world are dying from lack of the basics.
