From CNN:
Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.
The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.
Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid.
In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”
Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.
Huh?
She is a CEO with worldwide businesses, and "DoubleTalk" has more houses than he can count, but Barack Obama is the "elitist"?
It's been reported that ten years ago, she had made over $100 million selling broadband licenses, and that was before she married a British banking kingpin.

In that piece, she claims not to understand why "all (her) capitalist friends aren't Democrats."
Hmmm...
I have to wonder why Obama brings out such strong negative emotions in our pearl-bedecked "Everywoman".
Just asking, but is her favorite color a toss-up between green and white?
