FEEL THEIR PAIN, PLEASE FEEL THEIR PAIN - AT 7:44 P.M. ET:  The people cited in this Washington Post piece give an entirely new meaning to the term "classless society."  It is incredible that any person of minimal intelligence can speak this way:

Some of President Obama's wealthiest supporters are becoming a bit whiny, and it has nothing to do with policy.

Tickets for tours of the presidential residence are scarce, even for those who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for last year's campaign. Private fundraisers tend to be brief, businesslike affairs. And there have been no sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom, weekends at Camp David or intimate lunches with the first couple.

I weep for them, I cry.

Nearly a year into his presidency, that pattern has led some top Democratic donors across the country to grumble that they aren't getting the kind of personal attention from Obama and special access to the White House that they became used to during the eight years of the Bill Clinton presidency.

We remember that high-toned presidency. 

"I've had almost no communication with the White House," said Chris Korge, a top Hillary Clinton supporter from Miami who later collected $5.5 million for Obama, making him one of the president's biggest fundraisers.

Either, apparently, has General McChrystal.

Korge said his only visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. was a St. Patrick's Day event, and he complained in a recent interview that the administration has done little to reward the president's donors or tap into their experience and wisdom.

"There is no connection between the administration and money people," he said. "If they do have any connection . . . it is very limited as far as the fun stuff is concerned."

COMMENT:  Unbelievable, just unbelievable.  You'd think, especially at a time of such economic pain, that people would be embarrassed to speak this way.  Whatever happened to good taste?
