$500 to $2,000 for lunch with Obama

Want to have lunch with President Obama in Columbus? It’ll cost you a $500 donation to Gov. Ted Strickland’s re-election campaign. If you want “priority seating,” tickets are $2,000.

Obama is expected to appear at the luncheon fund-raiser Wednesday, Aug. 18, and give a speech in Columbus as well. Details on the speech have yet to be released.

The luncheon will be at the Columbus Athenaeum, the same hall where Hillary Rodham Clinton celebrated her Ohio primary victory over Obama in 2008.

Strickland, who has more than $9 million in his campaign war chest, is running against former Congressman John Kasich.
