Obama Picks Up $9 Million at Glitzy Hollywood Fundraiser - America’s Election HQ

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential campaign and the Democratic Party.

The night was split into two glitzy events, a reception and dinner costing $28,500 each at the Greystone Mansion, followed by entertainment by Streisand at the nearby Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. About 250-300 people were expected at the dinner and about 800 at the entertainment, which cost $2,500 a ticket.

Tell me does this make you feel he is more "in touch" with the middle class or does this whole shindig reek of the "liberal elite"?

I don't know what this makes me think except I am happy to see that Obama raised more money. I don't know why but I thought it would be more. He raised $66 million in August, which comes out to a little over $2 million/day. So I guess that's good.

Does being "in touch" a requirement for being prez? If so, what happened with GW?

As Obama says Bush is not running for his "fourth" term.

Yeah, and an increase in voting by minorities, youth, and those fools who never bothered to vote.

The increase in voters should be enough.

I wish GW and Bill Clinton could run again. It would be rioting in the streets, right again left.
