Obama 'round the block

*TAX THE RICH, indeed.

So, Harvey Weinstein (& fellow F.O.O. Anna Wintour) had a $35,000-a-plate dinner this evening for President Obama in Harvey's fortress on Bank Street.*
Grabbed a book & waited like some stalker in Abingdon Square, where police barricades and officers were dispatched as if this was London.
Got pictures of his mostly NYPD entourage and his tank-limo coming down 12th Street.
Didn't get a picture of POTUS, but saw him through the back window of the limo.
It all happened so quickly yet the poor guy's slumping body language read 'spent.'
He gave a short wave with the fingers that held up his forehead.
