Barack Obama is turning away donors because he does not have the time to commit to taking pictures with all of them.

The Barack Obama fund-raisers in New York have to turn away contributors–and possibly their money!–because there are too many who want a high-priced ticket to the photo reception at his Grand Hyatt event tomorrow.

“We really hate to turn money away – especially this much - but we don’t have a choice,” says an email forwarded to me from an Obama fund-raiser, who told me it is being circulated among the event’s hosts.

I think I may have found him a solution.
