Do the American people really want the Lincoln bedroom sold again? Again? lol It sounds like you're saying that only a Dem prez would give White House favors.
What I am saying is that Billy is the only President that actually raised money by promising overnight stays in the Lincoln bedroom. The following from ABC News:
MIKLASZEWSKI: But White house documents, some in the President's own handwriting, indicate the Lincoln bedroom was at least on the market to major political donors. Under increasing public pressure, the White House released the names of 958 visitors who slept at the White House during Clinton's first term. Most were family friends, but many were major political contributors, like computer magnate Steve Jobs, who gave $150,000; and Hollywood producer Steven Spielberg, $200,000. But the most potentially damaging revelation came unexpectedly from former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes. Under threat of subpoena, he turned over some 500 pages of documents pertaining to Democratic fund-raising to the House Oversight Committee. The documents appear to support allegations the Democrats turned the Clinton White House into a political fund-raising machine. In one 1995 memo, Democratic Finance Chairman Terry McAuliffe recommends the President meet with major supporters for ‘breakfast, lunch, or coffee’ to ‘energize them for the upcoming year.’ President Clinton himself wrote back, ‘Yes, pursue all three, and promptly, and get other names at 100,000 or more, 50,000 or more.’ The President added, ‘ready to start overnights right away.’ And in a 1996 memo, Clinton campaign Chairman Peter Knight tells the White House that Democrats expect to raise $350,000 from just one White House coffee with the President. As bad as it may look, White House spokesman Mike McCurry insists it's still all perfectly legal.
