Obama backer Rogers raising money for Tillis

As co-chair the Charlotte Host Committee, Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers was in some ways a face of the Democratic National Convention. He also arranged Duke's $10 million line of credit and gave $10,000 to Barack Obama's campaign.

Now he's helping one of North Carolina's top Republicans.

Rogers is hosting a fundraiser at his Eastover home for House Speaker Thom Tillis of Cornelius.

Tillis expects to use the money to help elect other Republicans to the state House, where he's trying to build a "super-majority."

All businesses work both sides of the aisle.

Duke will need Tillis in Raleigh and Obama in Washington.

Oh, the horror.

If they are smart they work both sides of the aisle, Murdoch ran that massive fundraiser for Hillary in '08 when he thought she would win.

Comeon Barry. This is your big chance to put it all to rest to help out a worthy cause. Laughing it off on Leno looked telltale and stupid as hell.
Even your libs are wondering ...
