In late September, Rubin attended an exclusive Los Angeles fundraiser for Obama, held at the Beverly Hills' Greystone Mansion. Attendees gave tens of thousands of dollars which the campaign split between its own coffers, the Democratic National Committee and state-level campaign groups supporting Obama and Democratic candidates. The technique helps campaigns take in from individuals far more than the $2,300 maximum they are allowed to give to a single campaign fund.Now all of this occurred after reports of low income housing and the SEC punishment had occurred, I say that again, Obama took 10's of thousands from a company known for actions that left low income areas devastated!
Rubin's money went to a joint Obama-DNC fund ($28,500), the DNC itself ($26,200), and to the Obama campaign ($2,300), according to the database of campaign donations at OpenSecrets.Org. News of the federal investigation into Rubin's New Mexico dealings had broken less than three weeks earlier.
According to Entertainment Weekly's coverage of the event, Rubin sat at Table 17 – one table away from Leonardo DiCaprio, "Survivor" producer David Katzenberg and comedian Chris Rock.
