Former Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) is not happy with President Obama’s high dollar fundraisers with the top one percent, suggesting that he is tainting his image as a “man of the people.”

“When he is associating with the one percent and asking for contributions from the one percent it makes the other 99 percent think they are not part of the process,” Feingold said on the Tavis Smiley show on Tuesday. “All of the people were excited about Obama in 2008, it is kind of depressing. it’s like, ‘Why do I bother? It is not about me anymore.'”
