With A Little Help From His Friends
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > George Clooney
Presidential hopeful Barack Obama is going to get a bit of help campaigning from his friends in Hollywood.
George Clooney has decided to host a fundraiser for Obama in Geneva, Switzerland next month.
Why Geneva? Well, Georgey is summering in Italy, so it's nearby.
The event will take place on Tuesday, September 2nd and will offer a reception followed by a dinner, with a special speech by Clooney.
And, according to Obama’s National Finance Committee, the tickets for the reception are going for $1,000.
But if you want to go to dinner, that's extra. Dinner will be at the home of NFC member Charles Adams for $10,000 a plate!!!
And you better hurry, because the dinner will only sit 75 people.
The event will only be open to contributors that are US Citizens with a passport.
This kind of contradicts what Clooney's said before about not backing up nominees.
During a CNN interview Clooney had said, he was "hesitant" to campaign for anyone, calling it a "slippery slope."
Clooney added, “I feel that at times you can harm the person that you are trying to help. I don’t want to damage anybody.”
Wonder what changed his mind???

Gah enough Obama talk!
GOD GEORGE CLOONEY IS SO HANDSOME
VOTE - USE WRITE CATEGORY
we need change. not sure who can provide good change.
is anybody actually for McCain??
I bet he has a niece piece, down there.
exept for heidi montag
love george clooney! sooo handsome
btw maybe he feels that obama is a good choice for president and decided to back him up
How ironic that anyone that can afford the $ for dinner seats, airfare and accommodations are in the top 1% of income earners in this country that Obama Bin Laden wants to sodomize with a battering ram wrapped in barbed wire.
thank god for George Clooney
/signed sarcasm
Why is Obama your hero, Perez? He's against gay marriage. Look at his website.
I wonder how many people $10,000 would feed as opposed to how many commercials it would run.
what a douchebag
Umm….Perez, you OBVIOUSLY are not sure of anything that you write on your own website. He didn't do it in Geneva because he's "vacationing in italy"…i mean come on! Couldn't you think of something more intelligent? Like that Geneva is the "peace" country, it doesn't take sides and the UN headquarters are there? George Clooney is part of the UN. THAT is probably the reason he is doing it in Geneva. Not because "Georgey is summering in Italy, so it's nearby". Now we know that your website is not accurate at all. Have some intelligence, Perez. And if you don't have it (which you probably don't) ASK SOMEONE. goodness, fake people these days.
Switzerland?? What is Obama wanting…all the porn runners to send in their absentee ballots? Talk about desperate…rotfl….Looks like the star-chasing presidential hopeful is actually living up to his name….Forget about his political stance, eh Pigez,…it's all about who you know and how you can use them, right….TYPICAL LIBERAL VIEWS AND COLLABOPRATORS ARE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY!!
Re: Andy WHAT THE FUCK IS A NIECE PIECE YOU FUCKTARD!27 –
if I paid extra, could I sit next to George? Yummers!
Re: LettyB – hahaha….a niece piece, meaning a nice DICK…ya know…that one thing you'll probably never get any of due to your lack of appeal.
Maybe he decided to back Obama because when he was "neutral", there was a chance he was for McCain. And he just realized that is wrong. You go Cloons!
This goes to prove the rumors that Obama and George Clooney have been having gay-cyber-sex, ever since Obama dumped Scarlett Johansson after she told the press about her cyber-sex with Obama.
.
George Clooney called his relationship with Obama a "slippery slope", and then later added added, “I feel that at times you can harm the person that you are trying to help. I don’t want to damage anybody.” So Obama is the receiver?
.
That's totally GAY talk. Maybe it's gone beyond gay-cyber-sex between George Clooney and Obama. Have they taken the next step in their relationship and had actual gay sex?
What changed his mine, he is a suck-ass. He thinks Barack Obama is going to win, we know at least 1/3 of the Democrats are either going to stay home or vote for McCain. Democrats are afraid that the Illinois Hacks will run the White House and we know what kind of state Illinois is, especially Chicago with the biggest crook Daily in office.
For that much money a SUCK and FUCK better follow dinner!
Re: Andy27 – WHY ARE YOU CALLING IT A "NIECE" AND NOT A "NICE" PIECE OR WAS THAT JUST A SPELLING MISTAKE! DON'T WORRY MABE IF YOU BEG HARD ENOUGH PEREZ WILL TAKE YOU BACK!
Re: Debaucherina – mccain is aganist gay marriage as well dumb ass..and even mccain daughter is gay..
Re: JET – YOU'RE A TOTAL FUCKTARD! WAS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE FUNNY????
Coco: WHO said I was for McCain??? You present a false dilemma. Never assume things.
SO sick of these "stars" putting their input on the election. I DON'T even think they should have the right to vote. I mean they don't live in our world…the average Joe world. These stars don't do crap but dance around in front of a camera for 4 months and make more money in that 4 months than most of us with EVER MAKE. Oh wait…yeah they do….they go out to dinner, then the club, then vacation, then premieres, then award shows, then well what do you know…they have been working too hard at that and they need a vacation again. So, to the H-wood stars….once you crawl down out of the Hollywood hills and work a 9-5 for 10 bucks an hour….keep your f'n mouths shut. It won't matter who wins for them….they won't be bothered anyways….they have enough money where nothing will mess their life up. I am so sick of these idiots running their mouths like we give a damn…or least I don't. I sure as well won't vote for someone just b/c old man Clooney thinks it s a good idea.
Re: LettyB – EVERYONE knows that George Clooney is gay. If he already hasn't had sex with Obama, like Chris Matthews from MSNBC, then he is trying to buy his way into Obama's bed with this benefit.
wait a sec….. i didn't think you could do fundraisers in a foreign country?????? i'm an obama supporter all the way, but didn't hillary catch a lot of flak for the fundraiser that elton john had for her?
Re: Debaucherina – First of all i didnt SAY you were for MCCain I'm simply stating on what you posted
" Why is Obama your hero, Perez? He's against gay marriage. Look at his website."
I was stating that mccain is ALSO aganist gay marriage..so either way..both are AGANIST gay marriage…and you shouldnt be concerned with who someones hero is..IF that is perezs hero…
but you are hypocritical bc you yourself is ASSUMING but stating that Obama is Perez's hero..he has never said that..
Re: JET – YOU'RE NOW A BIGGER FUCKTARD!
Re: CoCo ChaNeL – You need to look up what a FALSE DILEMMA means. Your logic sucks. Then please refer to my avatar. Thank you.

Re: Debaucherina – LOL…girl please YOU DONT have an ass to kiss..how about you get one…and let me speak some white girl to you "like OMG your logic sucks as well…"
Re: sherrz like WHOA – That's why George Clooney has decided to host his fundraiser for Obama in Geneva Switzerland, where all the corrupt democratic congressmen/women & democratic senators are hiding all their obscene and treasonous profits from their criminal conspiracy to drive up the price of a barrel of crude oil, through their oil speculation purchases in London & NYC, prior to the November elections.
wow hes so freaking hot.
Re: CoCo ChaNeL – You have a problem assuming things. First you think I'm voting for McCain, then you call me a white girl. I'm a Latino, gay male! If you think it "sounds white" to be educated, then your logic sucks worse than I thought.
I love Geo Clooney and Perez.
The new website is stylie-o. So tired of seeing FIRST.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE LOVE LOVE
exactly..and i was wrong how?? lol
and as i stated previously i DID NOT say you were voting for mccain get the facts straight..
i love george
but I don't like obamaaaaaaaaaaa
Celebrity endorsements…what a joke!
Didn't George learn from what happened to Obama with Oprah's endorsement? His and her ratings dropped. HAHA the joke is on both of them
I love Obama but I hate it when celebrities try to get political. They are just pretty faces and no one should take them seriously. Most of them are barely educated.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's a HUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
