Liberal Hall of Shame
NEW YORK --Guests at a high-dollar fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday were treated to cocktails, dinner and an hourlong business tutorial from billionaire Warren Buffett.
Buffett, the founder of the Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and one of the world's richest men, co-hosted the fundraiser, which brought in at least $1 million for Clinton's presidential effort.
Buffett, a Democrat, has not formally endorsed Clinton, but guests at the dinner said he called the New York senator "the person to run the country."
Buffett is also expected to host an event for rival Democrat Barack Obama later this summer and has spoken favorably about the presidential prospects of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who recently left the Republican Party to become an independent.
Known in business circles as the "Oracle of Omaha," Buffet joined Clinton onstage after the fundraiser to field questions from attendees about his views on American competitiveness, smart investing, education and even the global nuclear threat.
