On Letterman, Obama Says Romney ‘Writing Off’ Much of Country

The Washington Post (9/19, Gardner, 552K) reports that "in addition to taping Letterman's show, Obama was scheduled to attend two fundraisers in New York, one at the Waldorf Astoria hotel and another at 40/40, the swanky Manhattan club owned by hip-hop mogul Jay-Z." According to the Post, "About 200 people attended the reception at the Waldorf Astoria, paying a minimum of $12,500 per family to do so, with a number of donors bringing their toddlers. Tickets to the Jay-Z/Beyoncé event cost $40,000, with about 100 expected to attend, including a couple who won a contest open to small donors."
