George Clooney headlined a fund-raiser Monday that took in more than a half-million dollars for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign. Organizers said they took in at least $625,000 from U.S. donors for Obama’s campaign, including many who flew in to Geneva, Switzerland, from around the world for the one-night event.

Would any of this money be from Swiss bank accounts? Isn’t that tainted money?

[bandleader]

I have NEVER heard of a US President going out of this country to raise campaign funds!I wonder when the FEC will get around to investigating this?Don’t Hold Your Breath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mass55th]

That’s not much money from a fundraiser.

[napscoordinator]

625K is not much especially since Clooney makes 20 million a film. He couldn’t give a few million. Democrats are cheap people.

[bandleader]

I take that last statement back.I seem to recall”Slick Willy”and Indonesia??????????????????????????

[bandleader]

Democrats are only”Cheap People”with their OWN Money.They are VERY GENEROUS with OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pallis]

How many Lewinskys did Clooney give for that.

[heartwood]

It’s for the little people.

Only Obumer truly understands the middle class. Did not know it was Swiss.

"they took in at least $625,000 from U.S. donors"

Yeah.....right....U.S. donors my ass....

[realcleanguy]

So some democrats who have overseas accounts are giving to Obama? How ironic

[MisterArtery]

Is this a clowney alert?

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Fluken foreigners don’t even have to come here anymore to help with the destruction of America. ***holes like Clooney will go to them to pick up their money for the Kenyan’s scorched earth agenda.

[Alter Kaker]

Romney just personally attended fundraisers in London and Jerusalem. Relax.

[MtnClimber]

Bet they would also fly to a Jim Jones Hpplaid festival. These people are drawn to sociopaths.

Organizers said they took in at least $625,000 from U.S. donors

They would not have nneded to stage the fundraiser in Switzerland to accept donations from US donors. So, how much did they get from foreign donors?

[matginzac]

That’s ALL?
Geez, barely got past 500K...in Switzerland no less.
Definitely chump change....
Clooney = International Fail
