Obama’s Bitch to Appear at Mega-Dollar Obama Fundraisers in Geneva
In time for summer break, Obama’s campaign extends its fundraising efforts with the Oscar-winning actor in Switzerland and expats in France.
George Clooney has signed on for another special guest appearance as the Barack Obama re-election campaign takes its summer fundraising tour across the Atlantic in pursuit of Euro-cash.
The Obama campaign posted an invitation on its website Friday revealing that the presidential pal-in-chief will appear at a pair of Americans Abroad for Obama events Aug. 27 in Geneva, Switzerland. Clooney, who usually spends summers at his villa on Italy’s Lake Como, made a similar appearance across the Swiss border on behalf of then-candidate Obama during the run-up to the 2008 general election.
Charles Adams, co-president of the campaign’s European outreach effort, told the newspaper Tribune de Geneve that Clooney will address a crowd of about 150 at an evening reception, which will be followed by a more intimate — and expensive — dinner at which the star will be the guest of honor. Tickets for the latter event will go for $20,000 for singles and $30,000 for couples.

OK, so I clicked on an Obama campaign ad (which I do every chance I get) and it told me the Anointed One’s campaign can’t accept donations from foreign nationals.
So they’re just soliciting donations from American ex-pats? Or is it a nudge-nudge wink-wink sort of thing? Heaven knows the O has violated so many laws, what’s one more.

Hell I wasn’t sure if you were talking about Mooshell, Oprah, Hillary, Debbie, Nancy, Bawney, Rahm, or Valerie.

Why have fundraisers? Why not just fine everyone $5,000 each as a “tax fine” for not donating to Obama and call it Constitutional?

Hollywood gets no support from me. The last movie I went to was “Saving Private Ryan.” I never saw a Cloony movie. Never will.

At least we’re spared from any new horse shit Clooney movies while he’s busy being Obama’s boy toy.

And we’re really supposed to believe that they’re spending God knows how much money campaigning overseas, just so The Obama can collect some donations from American citizens who are living abroad, and that there won’t be any “Foreign Money” going to the obama campaign? Really? This MF has got some balls I tell ya. They might be in his mouth, but he’s got ‘em… BIG BRASS ONES!!!

Rumor has it that the name of the lake in Italy is changed from Lake Como to Lake Homo when Boy George Clooney is in town.

Is Clooney going to ask them why they’re ex-pats in the first place?
I mean if these folks are wealthy as claimed, they can choose to reside wherever they want and for some reason it’s not the US.
Are they able to circumvent taxes? EPA? child labor? unions? state/local burdens?

What a deal – $20,000 to eat arugula, sprouts, and goat testicle stew – plus experiencing the intellectual joy of listening to Clooney’s Hollweird blather.

At least if Clooney is licking Bomba, he isn’t being a bad actor anymore.

#1 reason why I don’t purchase tickets to Hollywood liberal movies, or anyone who is a liberal in the music industry. I’ll spend my money on me, me, me.

I’m a little sad to see Clooney who used to be pretty quiet about his lefty leanings and support for every Dem who came along to go hog wild with this fund raising and Obama support. Oh well, I guess you have to do something to pass the time when your career is over.

@Will Profit: I noticed the same thing about Clooney. Aging is not setting well with him. He needs to call John Rivers’ doctors for a little touchup… or Hollywood needs to back up to photograph him… like, from Cleveland.

I will never understand the Cult of Personality that so enamores a person to an arrogant, hateful, shithead.

so I saw that Alec Baldwin was getting married today. I hope that he and Clooney will be happy together.
