Topic: Atherton Fundraiser

The wealthy town of Atherton, California, implements a new policy requiring hosts of large-scale events, including presidential fundraisers, to pay for extra security and police overtime. The move comes after a previous visit by President Obama cost the town $10,000. For the latest visit, the fundraiser's organizer agreed to foot the bill for the 150 officers required.

President Obama is scheduled to attend high-priced fundraisers in the San Francisco Bay Area, including a dinner in Atherton costing $35,800 per couple. Following the private events, the President will host a town hall at LinkedIn headquarters in Mountain View. The specific dollar amount of the dinner is mocked as an arbitrary figure that includes hidden costs like valet parking.
