Hours after delivering a statement on the shooting massacre of nine people at an historic church in Charleston, S.C., President Obama and a group of entertainment industry donors had a lengthy discussion about the roots of gun violence in the first of two Hollywood-centric fundraisers in Los Angeles on Thursday, according to an attendee who was present.
About 30 people attended the event at the Pacific Palisades home of Chuck Lorre, executive producer of “Two and a Half Men.” Tickets for what was billed as an intimate discussion with the president sold for up to $33,400 each, with proceeds going to the Democratic National Committee.
Among those attending were Kiefer Sutherland, Matthew Perry, Conan O’Brien, UTA’s Jay Sures, Bob Broder, Tennis Channel CEO Ken Solomon and writer-producer James Burrows.
The attendee described the meeting, which lasted an hour and 15 minutes, as different from other events in that it offered an opportunity for Obama to have a “long, thoughtful” and serious discussion about issues, including gun violence and his presidency, in a much more “macro” sense than in other forums. The discussion about gun violence touched on gun laws, mental health and race, among other factors, the attendee said. Obama talked about being an optimist, especially about the country’s place in history.
Next on Obama’s agenda was a larger, $2,500-per-person event at the home of Tyler Perry. Perry is a longtime supporter who also held a fundraiser for Obama’s re-election campaign in Atlanta. . .

“Never let a crisis go to waste”
These people, living in La-La Land, have absolutely NO business running our country! None, whatsoever!
They are SO far removed from reality, it’s a form of mental illness!
My, what convenient ... timing.
Goodness.
Most of whom feature gun violence as a big element in their lamebrain movies. And they’ll all clap like trained seals.
Oh, BTW......did he address the water shortage by any chance?
The shooter reloaded five times according to some reports. One good person with concealed carry in that church could have stopped him. Outlawing guns will only make more people vulnerable; can’t stop the bad guys from getting weapons.
nope, dancing in fresh blood takes an effort.
I know of a preacher the wears a glock concealed even when he is doing baptisms.
He “Testifies” that they are water proof!
Absolutely.
Four People Killed, 5 Wounded In China Mass Shooting: CCTV
I wonder if he walked back his belief that even a complete gun ban -- like they have in China -- would have prevented this.
And of course the taxpayers paid for him to go to a Democrat Party fundraiser.
“....a lengthy discussion about the roots of gun violence ..”
“Never let a crisis go to waste”
Particularly when you’ve gone to such great lengths and expense to create one!
coincidences like this arent a dime a dozen...
Bingo.
Obie be a playah
P e rf e c t t imi n g
Rush every one to the breaking point and then capitalize on the results.
...because nothing shows grief like going to the source of America's moral bankruptcy...while regurgitating the same tired argument on guns with fellow limousine liberal hypocrites protected by armed bodyguards.
He## no that is a real problem. The other problems are mostly of his making.
