Buffett, the founder of the Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and one of the world’s richest men, co-hosted the fundraiser, which brought in at least $1 million for Clinton’s presidential effort.

Buffett, a Democrat, has not formally endorsed Clinton, but guests at the dinner said he called the New York senator “the person to run the country.”

Central to Buffett’s message was the notion that he and other privileged Americans — those who had drawn the “lucky tickets” — had an obligation to provide for those less fortunate.

“We have the chance in 2008 to repair a lot of damage,” Buffett said. “We have a wonderful economy. The market system works in this country. Our problem is how we conduct ourselves in the world.”
