President Barack Obama, in a fundraising foray to Hollywood and the West Coast, attacked Republicans for favoring the wealthy and stepped up a campaign- style drive to win support for his $447 billion jobs package.
At a rally at House of Blues on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, the president, trying to fatten his war chest for the 2012 presidential election, pleaded for help in repelling what he described as his opponents’ retrograde approach to solving the nation’s problems.
Republicans want to “cut taxes for folks who don’t need it,” Obama said yesterday in his visit to Los Angeles. “That’s not the vision you believe in, and that’s not the vision I believe in.”
Republicans, including the field of presidential hopefuls, would eliminate vital regulations, leave the country with “dirtier air” and “let the banks do whatever they want,” Obama said to about 800 supporters who paid $250 and up to attend the rally. “Yes, we’re going through tough times. But the question is where do we go from here?”
At the Fig and Olive Restaurant, his second stop in Hollywood, Obama said “The other side has a very different idea about where to take this country.” His audience included entertainment executives among a group of about 120 people who paid $17,900 each. He said his vision is “big, optimistic” and “not a cramped vision that says you’re on your own.”
Conceding he is grayer and “ all dinged up” from the battles back in Washington, the president said, “I’m going to need your help, so don’t get tired on me now.”
