SHARE Obama top fund-raisers huddle in Washington Dec. 12-13

WASHINGTON–The Obama team top fund-raisers–the National Finance Committee–hold their next meeting here on Dec. 12 and 13. The meeting comes as the fourth quarter is winding down for the holidays and President Obama and First Lady Michelle in December will be bolted down in the White House for a blizzard of holiday parties–and then back to Hawaii over Christmas and New Years.

Obama is scheduled to headline two fund-raisers in New York on Nov. 30 and in Washington, one on Dec. 7 and another on Dec. 14. A group of present and former NBA stars–a who’s who of hoops–will play a basketball game here on Dec. 12 to benefit the Obama re-election drive.
