The 1% pay $1000 to shake Obama's hand

The way President Obama hates the rich, he probably gave them a 'dirty handshake.'

(CBS Detroit) – Bomb sniffing dogs could be seen around Greenfield Village in Dearborn as officials prepared for President Barack Obama’s visit on Wednesday.

Supporters lined up bright and early to get in the door at The Henry Ford, including Lonnie Peek, who handed over $1,000 to stand in a rope line and shake the President’s hand.

Peek said paying that price will mean a bit of a sacrifice, but it’s worth it.

“A thousand dollars is a lot of money. But other folks are kickin’ in for their candidates, so what you do is you bite the bullet,” Peek said. “You wanna have your conscience good, to feel that this is what I did.

“You know, you go without a couple of meals. We can miss a couple meals,” he said.

These rich Obama donors think $500 is the normal cost of a meal?
