President Obama visited the Billionaires Row in San Fransisco early this year for a fund-raiser that will raise money for "Organizing for America", Obama's Democratical National Committee. The fundraiser consisted of a dinner and a reception. Obama arrived at the funraiser in his motorcade, where the crowd which was previoudly protesting jumped into cheers after they saw their president. By the time the motorcade reached Union Square, hundreds of protesters and crowds had gathered. While talking to the press Obama explains: "The biggest barrier between a doctor and a patient ... are the insurance companies," he said.
