Babs for Barack

Filed under: Politik > Barbra Streisand > Barack Obama > John McCain

babs__opt2.jpg

A new headliner has just been announced for a big Barack Obama fundraiser on September 16th.

Set to preform for the Presidential hopeful is the diva herself, Barbra Streisand, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles.

This is also expected to be Obama's final visit to raise money before the general election.

The evening will start at 5:00pm with a dinner for about 250 people at a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Tickets will be on sale for the event for the small price of $28,500!!!

Perezzers will not be attending. Although we did contribute to his campaign, $28k is a bit too much for us (and most EVERYONE ELSE)!

Later that evening, Obama will attend the party at the Beverly Wilshire hotel, which will be followed by Streisand's performance.

It will be co-hosted by the DreamWorks Team (Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen) and will include Andy Spahn, a political consultant.

Tickets for that event are sold separately. They cost only $2,500 per person.

Streisand has been a big supporter for the Democrats. Back in 2000 she sang at a concert for Al Gore and again in 2004 for John Kerry.

This year she even spoke at a fundraiser to support Hillary Clinton, though she then endorsed Obama once he secured the nomination in June.

Babs has even posted a wonderful blog on her official site where she claims Sen. John McCain must think females are stupid.

She writes, “I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary — an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant — would vote for him because his Vice President has two x chromosomes. McCain’s selection of Governor Palin is a transparent and irresponsible decision all in the name of trying to win this election. John McCain has served this country. No one in this election is denying him that. But his selection of Governor Palin has demonstrated that he is willing to put his desperation to win this election above the welfare of the American people."

Speak your truth, girl.

    She's dead on target — "John McCain has served this country. No one in this election is denying him that. But his selection of Governor Palin has demonstrated that he is willing to put his desperation to win this election above the welfare of the American people."
    -
    - this is so true. For those of us who have met McCain, he's an egomaic — this election is not about this country — its about McCain winning.



  2. 2

    McCain should NOT have picked Palin.



  3. 3

    second?

    i honestly never even try to do the whole first thing.
    cuz its totally hopeless
    but hey,
    am i actually second? :P

    thats pretty neat in my opinion.
    aha i didnt even read thearticle yet!



  4. 4

    My sentiments exactly.

    "Streisand has been a big supporter for the Democrats. Back in 2000 she sang at a concert for Al Gore and again in 2004 for John Kerry.

    OKAY, SO SHE IS THE KISS OF DEATH FOR DEMOCRATS. WHO IS PAYING HER TO SING, THE REPUBLICANS?



  6. 6

    Love Ms Babs, too. Perez, are you hung over or still drinking? Edit.



  7. 7

    Re: LULU~* – since when is serving your country egotistical? at least he's done something…



  8. 8

    Once again, Babs has proven that when one is a great talent, being a fucking idiot, when it comes to politics, goes hand in hand, or should I say foot in mouth? No one pays attention to celeb's opinions. Why can't she keep her mouth shut, except when singing.
    Don't hate me Rosie!



  9. 9

    Wow!

    Babs is on a WINNING streak!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WooT



  11. 11

    After reading a few comments I can see I should not have limited "idiots" to celeb's. What a bunch of sheep. And dumb sheep, at that.



  12. 12

    Stupid statements from a woman who never even got out of high school. Another example of someone who has had their ass kissed so much (mostly by gay guys who would kiss her ass but not have any of it) that they believe they are intelligent. Sarah Palin is a very smart, very savvy woman. If I had to pick someone to solve a problem, it wouldn't be Babs the leerjet liberal- it would be Palin, because she knows how to survive and thrive. Old Streisand has always been stridently annoying. Does she know that Obama's church disapproves of her hebrew brethren? Oh to hell with it- if you believe that hypocrit (HUGE house in Malibu, flies on private jets just because she can, rides in limos just because she can) then go ahead an vote the way she says. You'll deserve it. Perez- if it is not okay for Mr Palin to raise the 2 remaining kids (not counting the one in high school who might stay in Wasilla), then why the HELL would you approve two gay men to have kids? Men can take care of children just fine. If you think the first dude can't do that, then you are, by inference, saying that no men could do it.



  13. 13

    she sang for Gore & Kerry and that did wonders!!! HHA HAAA HAAA, who cares who this leftist bitch sings for, it's not going to make a difference, it's going to be McCain /Palin 2008 deal with it bitches!



  14. 14

    Wow, what an idiot! Babs has missed the mark yet once again. Her and Hanoi Jane need to learn when to shut their fat mouths. McCain picked Palin, not just because she's a woman, but because of her outstanding Republican record. Because of her wonderful family values. Because of the way she has turned Alaska around to be a productive state with a surplus (California can't even balance a budget). Because she is the right person for the job. Babs is out in left field if SHE thinks people will vote for Obama for his views and not his color. What political policies has he been in charge of? Zero!



  15. 15

    Re: Dick Gozinya – HAHAHHAHHAHA- now THAT is a good one! there really aren't very many funny comments on this blog- mostly just mean ones. but that was pretty good!



  16. 16

    What would you expect from her….she also supported Dukakis…see how that turned out. Give me a break Oprah is already getting major flack for not having Palin on her show…until AFTER the election. She's going to regret that decision….her numbers are already way down. I think Eleen should sccop and get Palin on her show…THAT WOULD BE FUN!



  17. 17

    i know this is off topic but did any find the vmas akward how the host kept talking about britol palin and how the baby daddy didnt wanna kid and like brit was in the audience meanwhile her 17 year old sis is a mommy
    and all the bashing of the jobros



  18. 18

    Maybe Russell Brand should go on tour with Babs since they have so much in common. Pinky and the Brain.



  19. 19

    She actually makes a good point alerting US that McCain will do anything to win this election!
    Hopefully the women and the hilary clinton supporters voting this year make the right desicion and vote Democratic!
    OBAMA 08!!!!



  20. 20

    ……..there are plenty of women out there who would love to vote for a women who would never vote for hillary. There is enough of an undecided vote out thereJust because she was the first to run for the job, doesn't make her right for it.



  21. 21

    we peons are SO lucky to have such great political analysts and economists as Clooney and Babs to tell us what they think!
    keep talking, Hollywood! you'll lose it for the Democrats AGAIN! teehee…



  22. 22

    Re: jenoboe – Jenobe - that's the point — it shouldn't be egotistical.

    McCain wants to win for his ego — he cares a hell of a lot about himself, and I'll sure he'll do a good job for the super wealthy — but for the of 98% - he could care less.



  23. 23

    Now I know I'll never vote for Obama. The fact that these Hollywood liberals who
    are so far removed from reality love him, speaks volumes.



  24. 24

    Re: jenoboe – No one's discrediting his war-record - that was impressive. But what has he done lately - like within the past 3 decades?



  25. 25

    Loved the comment by Cherry Bomb. Since when is it only a woman's job to raise the kids…like the dads are just babysitters??? These kids have TWO parents. Mr. Sarah Palin will do just fine while his wife helps run our great country. McCain/Palin 08!



  26. 26

    So, Babs, will you please ask Obie, one question? Why did he NOT nominate a brilliant life-lone public servant, whom 18 million women voted for and at least deserved to be vetted for the vice president spot.



  27. 27

    Is there anyone out there that still cares what Yentl has to say? DUH she is supporting Obama, I would fall out of my chair if I read anything otherwise. I threw up in my mouth when I read what the tickets to these events cost.



  28. 28

    Thanks Perez for continuing to post what YOU want on YOUR site about politics and what not. Not only becuase I agree with mostly everything you say, but also because it rubs the sand that the republicans(who for some reason comment on your site) have in their vaginas more than ever. Keep up the good work. Hopefully, the sand burn will be so bad they will be in too much pain to vote and possibly elect George W's wanna-be and his side trick into office. FUCK MCCAIN-PALIN! GO OBAMA '08!

    OMG!!! A gay man's blog is hyped about the guy who has no macro-gov't experience but has Babs and her Vegas show behind him! LOL That's the kiss of death for his political career! Obama is probably praying to any god that all you crazy friggin liberals shut the hell up! LOL



  30. 30

    $28,500 a plate? and also there was a bbq thrown by jon bon jovi this weekend for barack obama for $30,000 a plate. now…i remember last week how perez was talking about the clothing the republican's were wearing, and saying how regular people can't relate to things of that nature…being so expensive and all. I don't hear him saying shit besides he can't afford this babs dinner…if he found out the republican's were charging that for a dinner with mccain, he'd be all over that shit. be fair perez. don't just rail against mccain because you don't like him. you either need to rail against them both…or keep your mouth shut. it is absurd to keep saying how crappy the republican's are and how saint like the dems are. they are both crap in one way or another.



  31. 31

    Let me see…Wife has previous associations with Black Panthers…the family minister is an outspoken white-hater…has no political, military, or legislative experience…Why the HELL would anybody vote for Obama??? Babs should really look more deeply into the person she's supporting. I would highly advise ALL of you Obama supporters to do some research before the election or you may regret it someday.

    32

    Obama is inexperienced which would be detrimental in the highest office. He is voting for him because of his party affiliation and that alone. How many times has he been incapable of making a decision as a senator voting merely "present?" Obama voted that way over 100 times too many.

    Oh and by the way, I've been coming to this site as "Lola" for over two years and I'm an independent. How the heck do you reconcile that? I'm pro-choice as long as the mom isn't 5 Months and 29 days due and I'm also pretty liberal socially considering the fact that I have worked in the Social Services Industry for over 15yrs. But what does that matter if I don't agree with P and his possie

    Re: Sherman – #28 Some Republicans come to this site because it used to be more of an entertainment blog, you know "PerezHilton.com, Hollywood's Most Hated Web Site". Should this be off limits to Republicans? Perez isn't a dummy, he sees how many hits his political threads get. We too can't enjoy the humor in coke boogers drawn on Amy Crackhouse's face, every bit as much as Democrats can? Personally, I want to see a pic of Barry with some coke boogers, since he openly admitted that he was a big coke hound back in the day.



  42. 42

    Who in the fuck gives a shit what this ugly bitch has to say?

    Palin was a brilliant pick, he's ahead in the polls for the first time and liberals are scared shitless.

    Cant stand this bitch!! She needs to retire to the nearest old folks home and shut the hell up. Sarah Palin has more smarts than ugly Babs will ever hope to have! She gets uglier every year..ewwwwwwwwww……..go away you snotty old hag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  45. 45

    Rabid liberal bitch.



  46. 46

    Her statement is GREAT!
    go Barbra! Who else is performing that night?

    Re: Dick Gozinya
    I hate comments like these. Just cause a public figure supports someone you don't doesn't make them idiots. If you read Babs' statement you gotta admit she's right on target. Palin wasn't chosen cause she was the most capable for the job, she was chosen to get VOTES!
    Also, many of the Celebrities who support Obama are incredibly smart people and have always proven to be: Natalie Portman, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney,.. And are FAR smarter than any celebrity that has ever supported McCain (or Bush for that matter!! Remember Britney, Jessica Simpson, and Hilary Duff all suported Bush? just dumb young girls, not the smartest). And who support McCain: Daddy Yankee? Spencer and Heidi?? CMON!! thats just pathetic.

    And Gore and Kerry were both losers. Maybe it's the Babs "Kiss of Death". Now she's gonna give one to Barack. MWAH - Just what we've been waiting for.

Barbara been in the biz for over 40 years, PEOPLE WILL DIE for her concert tickets, and they are not cheap! This has to be coming from someone that still have powered similac behind her/his ears! !!



  52. 52

    When is Palin going to start answering questions?

    According to Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign, the American people don't care whether Sarah Palin can answer specific questions about foreign and domestic policy. According to Wallace — in an appearance Joe Scarborough's show — the American people will learn all they need to know (and all they deserve to know) from Palin's scripted speeches and choreographed appearances on the campaign trail and in campaign ads.

    I thought she was applying for the job as VP?

    Why can't we ask her any questions?

    All we get is one speech she delivered great, but didn't write.

    I find this VERY, VERY strange. Very unsettling.

    Gov Palin has rejected more than one hundred interview requests. IF SHE ISN'T READY TO STAND UP TO THE PEN, HOW CAN YOU THINK SHE IS READY TO STAND UP TO THE SWORD?

    "has demonstrated that he is willing to put his desperation to win this election above the welfare of the American people."

    Gee, could say the same thing about Obama picking Biden for his running mate. He choose established, experienced Washington insider to balance out his weakenesses, but McCain is a bad guy for doing the same thing?

    McCaIN/PalIN 2008! The IN ticket!



  66. 66

    Wake up and smell the McShame and Palin Brew she was chosen to get you attention she has had her 15 Minutes of FAME now lets get back to the facts ,McSame is is running for president if he wins we should just save American the Moving expenses and just keep Bush,
    that is not CHANGE it is SAME.

    Palling is being used as a smoke screen, Senator Obama is the High Velosity Fan he will BLOWWWWWWWWWW all that smoke and hot air out of Washington..

    SENATOR OBAMA THE REAL DEAL FOR A REALLLLLLLLL CHANGE!!



  67. 67

    Maybe she should respectfully decline…I mean let's look at the stats here…she sang for Al Gore, who lost. She sang for John Kerry, who lost…
    Maybe she is a jinx. Maybe she should sit this one out for the greater good of the country!! LOL



  68. 68

    Quote Steve Breitenbach (former Hilary Clinton supporter):

    First, on the experience issue, Gov. Palin seems to have Sen. Obama beat. While she is young, three years junior of even Obama, she already has more years of public service than Obama. Further, she actually has executive experience - something Obama and Biden both lack. She also has accomplishments in the areas of ethics, energy and tax policy reform, and even running a private business. She governs the largest land-mass of any U.S. State, and more public land than any other state, and has experience commanding the Armed Forces of Alaska and dealing with foreign borders with Russia and Canada - again both Obama and Biden lack experience in all these areas. Last year alone she implemented a $40 billion natural gas project to bring needed alternative energy sources to the United States. Something that Obama and Biden could only dream of.

    Re: Ms. Sugar Walls

    SUGAR WALLS, did you and your kids just get back from the soup kitchen line?

    Palin will answer in due time. You crucify her when she's not with her family, and now you're doing the same because she's not on CNN. I don't blame her for screwin' the media after the f'ed up crap they've put her through.

    Why don't you worry about YOUR candidate's foreign policies. And your spelling.



  70. 70

    Vote for McCain if you want the rich to get richer and the poor poorer.

    Re: obama sucks – I KNOW! I didnt watch. SO, Britney Spears wins 3 awards? Are you fucking serious. I WATCH VH1 (because MTV doesnt PLAY vidoes anymore) and there were SO many better videos! SOOOOOOOO MANY! She didnt do ANYTHING in the video. Who was she up against, anyone know????



  72. 72

    More from Breitenbach:

    The net of all this is that if Obama thinks he is now clear of examination on his lack of experience - he is in for a rude awakening. Palin, as young a woman as she is, only makes Obama's lack of experience and lack of concrete accomplishments even more glaring. Instead of taking away this argument from McCain, it strengthens McCain's argument against Obama.

    Second, Obama, by discounting the accomplishments of Palin, risks turning himself into yet another man dismissive of women. Obama's treatment of Hillary Clinton during the past year's primary campaign was sexist and dismissive of women. He already has demonstrated his lack of concern for women. The Democrats, and Obama, risk that the legacy they earn this year is one of disrespect of talented, motivated women.



  73. 73

    And finally:

    "Finally, Gov Palin's family focused goals, her life respecting outlook, her independent spirit, her willingness to go after public corruption in her own party, her willingness to take on the powerful oil industry in Alaska, and her view that public service is to get things done - not play things safe, can only serve to get the attention of voters like me, who will vote for either party, if they convince me they are going to work for us regular people, and actually get something done. Gov. Palin so far seems like the real deal.

    Obama's first real big decision, the 'safe' choice of Sen. Biden, really does not make me think Obama is the agent of change he says he is.

    McCain-Palin just may be."

    Powerful and satisfying…McCain-Palin 2008

    Most people couldn't care less what this has-been says. In fact, if I remember correctly, she couldn't even sell out her last concert series.

    Regardless - bring it on! Barry and his people just don't get it. And, that works for us!

    He's all about change but yet all is can drum up are old people - Joe Biden, Jon Bon Jovi, Barbara Streisand… Wow there's change!

    Re: Ms. Sugar Walls

    Post 91 makes absolutely no sense. Either put down the vodka or take an English class.



  94. 94

    To Obama Sucks,

    I did see it. Barry HUSSEIN Obama doesn't have an original idea in his head.

    The only reason he finally folded and went on Fox is because they are the highest watched cable news network with almost the same amount of dems and Repubs that watch it. He knew he had to.

    Hillary did good on there (I can't believe I'm saying that), she was articulate, commanding and stated her points.

    Barry - he was hard-pressed to find words. Typical for him.



  95. 95

    I completely agree, although I do wish celebrities wouldn't be so vocal. The matters become trivialized from the general population's viewpoint. That being said…Palin was such a transparent choice! McCain chose Palin purely in an attempt to sway women voters. I, as a woman, feel completely pandered to!

    Let's see…a woman who is not only inexperienced, but does NOT believe in a woman's right to choose? No, thank you! A woman who does NOT believe in sex education in school yet has a 17 year-old unwed daughter? No, thank you! A woman who allegedly had an affair with her husband's business partner? No, thank you!

    A woman who claims she exercises financial restraint? That's not what she told Alaskans when she announced a year ago that she was ordering state officials to ditch the bridging project. Her explanation then was that it would be pointless to try to persuade Congress to come up with the money. She blamed it on Congress no longer having interest, not lack of her own! Alaska is still and by far the largest per-capita consumer of federal pet-project spending of any state? This is the thrifty woman they speak of?

    For a person being touted as such a "morally-guided, family committed, fiscally responsible person…," Palin fails! There are numerous examples to counter almost every positive quality the Republican party is claiming Palin possesses.



  96. 96

    Continued on from above….

    McCain and company keep thundering about change…yet the majority of their positions on issues mirror that of George W. Bush…how is this change? McCain complained in his speech at the convention about this country's me-first attitude, yet who comprised the majority of his audience…rich, white-collar, me-first assholes. McCain's tax policies benefit these me-first people, while Obama "would retain all of the Bush tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year, but would do away with Bush's cuts for people making more than that. The money raised from tax increases on the wealthy would be redirected by Obama to tax relief for lower-income Americans." Under McCain, wealthy taxpayers (i.e. making around $600,000 or more) would see an average reduction of $48,860! And this coming from an extremely wealthy man…talk about me-first.

    This country is in need of a dire facelift on the international front, and McCain and Palin are not the answer. If McCain is elected, there is no doubt in my mind that the rest of the world will continue to view America as a superficial, money-hungry, imperialistic, delusional horde.

    Re: Beachy – You have to ignore her/him- she/he is so obviously a plant - for all we know, she/he gets paid to visit blogs and post her opinions.
    What's with the "desperate" theme for McCain? He might have agreed it was TIME to pick a woman with a real backbone. Michael Moore calls Palin an "extremist", and no part of the "main stream" which means Palin probably is pretty attractive to most Americans- maybe old sugar lips/walls/she/he is just anti female? The democrats did everything they could to stick it to Hillary. Now they go after Sarah Palin. Old sugar probably hated her too. big deal. I'm voting for her and nothing the liberal shills can say would ever change my opinion. Yada.

    In response to Sugar Walls -

    You're on a CELEBRITY SITE. If you want a critical thinking argument, then maybe you ought to get your ass on a political site. Of course - I know what you're gonna say - "I am". I'm on the Daily Kos aka Daily Kooks.

    You're full of nonsense and non-facts. But - hey, I have to laugh at you.

    You posted about the electoral college - yet you don't even realize the electoral college has only elected four dem presidents since and including JFK. So, actually, in the last 48 years - the dems have only been elected 4 times! And two of those were Slick Willy. Jimmy Carter was one - what a winner he was. NOT.

    Maybe you ought to go school yourself. You'd provide a much more intelligent argument for your side. You silly bitch.

    Re: Beachy – I know all he wants to do is take from the rich give to the poor. Reditribution of wealth. Free ride for the lazy people.

    Cherry Bomb,

    You're exactly correct. Yet, sometimes, I just gotta call these fools out.

    And - YES! I have wondered if this is some tranny posting.

    Anyway - I can hold my own against any of these kooks. It's just kind of fun to watch them squirm…
