Host the President, you pay the bill.

ROFLMAO.

The City has it exactly right. The homeowners do owe the money since Obama and the DNC refuse to pay it.

Atherton Revolts Over Cost Of Obama Visit, Targets Donors « CBS San Francisco

ATHERTON (KPIX 5) – A community on the Peninsula may take the unprecedented action of slapping a lien against two homeowners who hosted an April fundraiser for President Barack Obama that cost the town $8,000 in security and cleanup costs.

The Town of Atherton has been unable to recoup the money from the Democratic National Committee or Secret Service.

“If the town incurs a cost that rightly should belong to somebody else, we’re going to pursue that,” Atherton Town Manager George Rodericks told KPIX 5.

The town sent invoices to the White House, Democratic National Committee, the Secret Service and two people who own the homes where Mr. Obama raised more than $3 million for Democrats. So far, the town has not received a cent.

“If we were to hold, say, a wedding here, and have to close off streets, we would expect the people that were hosting the wedding to pay it and I think the taxpayers would also ask for that,” Councilman Bill Widmer said.

If they have enough money that they can host a fund raiser for Obama, they can afford to pay for the security and clean up.

The tax payer shouldn't have to.
