George Clooney Parties for Barack Obama

Celebrities Get Political
George Clooney helped raise big bucks for Barack Obama's presidential campaign by appearing at two intimate events in Geneva, Switzerland, Tuesday night, says Reuters.

The news organization says that around 170 donors paid $1,000 each to rub shoulders with Clooney and other VIPs at a museum cocktail party, and following that, some 75 contributors paid $10,000 each to dine at "an intimate seated dinner" with the 'Burn After Reading' star.

Combined, the two intimate events could raise more than $900,000 for Obama's campaign, says Reuters.

For Hours, days, weeks, Months they attacked Hillary and then McCain, Now they going to attack Hillary,, But will never Touch, Obama,, 3rd world Media Bias,, CNN is blowing it off, like it nothing, Msnbc, they won't blow it off, Kieth Oberman is on Obama Payroll 100%, he will never say anything Bad or wrong, to Obama, He refuse to have Republican Analyst on his show and that is how far he will go, tabloid Anchor man blogs on his own blog page, even worst gets his News not from the news station, but from Blog pages, what is wrong with this,, Msnbc has 3 guy Hit Team To Thrash Sarah Palin, These Men are Kieth Oberman, Chris Matthews,and Rachel Maddow, and so far all there fact been made up between each other with out facts what so ever,, They are catering to the simple minded the reality TV class of Voters,

    • CNN & MSNBC are on Barack Obama's payroll???Where do you get your information? Let me guess, um Fox News perhaps. That's insane!!! Do you ever really watch the news, they have done nothing but run Barak through the wringer - constantly! Keith Olberman?! You are really clueless. The only people on tv or radio who speak nothing but talking points are those who work for Fox!! You need a reality check, you're brain-washed.

    • All of your comments make no sense, but I wanted to comment on your Sarah Palin complaint: Do you know why everyone is commenting on her?? It's because noone, not a soul in the media or public knows anything about her!! Don't we have a right to know what her feelings are about the economy, Iraq... She's a mother, soon-to-be-grandmother and was a governor of Alaska - that's enough for you to support her?

    • You voted for Hillary but won't vote for Obama, that makes no sense. Unless you supported Hillary because she is a woman. And the reason the media is questioning Palin's nomination is because they don't know anything about her!! Nor do we! And where did you get those lies about MSNBC & CNN?? Where's this proof you spoke of? It's insane.

    • I think he's headed in that direction. But where's his experience? Being a member of Friends of Obama doesn't count.

    There a Lot of Barack Obama VOter & supporter out there told me that I am a Racist for not voting for Obama,,I had some just tell me, I am a Republican Rush Limbaugh Type,that is how Obama campaign Deal with things,,, Just Like Bush, If your not with Us Your Against US,
    Well still Million of voter from hillary and Woman still not going to vote for barack Obama,
    CNN & Msnbc or spinning Media controversy They are gong to deny giving Barack Obama a Pass,

    Even tho there tons of blogs and Media coverage proving CNN & Msnbc are on Obama Payroll and attacking Palin personally knowing that they gave Obama a Pass and will not touch Obama with any negative media coverage,, unless they have to,,,

    Wolf Blitzer, Campbell Brown Anderson Cooper, many other are pulling there Archive media coverage from there webpage, from cnn so you can't see there progress ,, how unfair and bias the media been, So they can stay on the attack against Sarah Palin,
