This might leave a divot.
But when you’re President Barack Obama, the grass is indeed greener at the Greenwich Polo Club — and so are the greenbacks.
Headed to Greenwich tonight for a VIP fundraising dinner, Obama is expected to land by Marine One helicopter on a nearby polo field that Britain’s Prince Harry played on last year, multiple sources told Hearst Connecticut Media.
Obama is giving new meaning to the term crowdfunding.
Some VIPs are shelling out $32,600 a plate — the maximum allowed by federal law — to be part of Obama’s supper club.
The money raised from the dinner, which is being hosted at the Conyers Farm estate and Richard and Ellen Schapps Richman, will go to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Already at a stalemate with the House Republican majority, Obama is trying to keep the Senate from flipping over to the GOP. That would really put a cramp in the final two years of Obama’s second term.
U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., are on the host committee of the event, which is also expected to draw Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet.
Obama will be in New York City earlier in the day for a Democratic fundraiser.
