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.
