Five years of the Obama “recovery” has taken its toll, even on the president’s biggest supporters. Obama hosted a fundraiser at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on Tuesday, and the price of admission has been cut drastically. In 2011, a seat at the banquet cost an individual $10,000. Now, it’s just $5,000 – and that covers a whole family.

Hope ‘n’ change seems to have deflated in value right along with U.S. currency.
