The Washington Times has a great investigative piece out today about Democrat donors receiving special perks from the Obama White House:
During his first nine months in office, President Obama has quietly rewarded scores of top Democratic donors with VIP access to the White House, private briefings with administration advisers and invitations to important speeches and town-hall meetings.
High-dollar fundraisers have been promised access to senior White House officials in exchange for pledges to donate $30,400 personally or to bundle $300,000 in contributions ahead of the 2010 midterm elections, according to internal Democratic National Committee documents obtained by The Washington Times.
Despite being confronted with specific DNC memos that PROMISED donors access to White House officials, Gibbs insists the White House knows nothing about the matter. (Also, notice how it's not even that evil Fox News asking the questions on this one...) Here's how it went down during today's WH presser:

Update: The Times also has the official response from the White House.
