LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — President Barack Obama will be back in Los Angeles in October for a fundraiser at the home of actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

Tickets for the Oct. 9 event will cost up to $32,400, and the evening will include an intimate dinner with Obama fielding questions from supporters, according to an invitation sent by the Democratic National Committee.

The trip will be Obama’s 20th to Los Angeles or Orange counties since he took office in 2009. All but three of his trips have included political fundraisers.

Obama was most recently in Los Angeles July 23-24, when he attended a pair of fundraisers, one at the Hancock Park home of television producer Shonda Rhimes, and another at the Brentwood home of Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino. He also spoke to about 2,000 people at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College about his successes in job creation.

The July event at Rapino’s home was billed as “the last trip to Los Angeles the president will be making this year,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

fielding questions from supporters

Fielding questions my ass. He isn't going to give a decent answer to anything, just spout off platitudes and bromides.

These Hollywood hosers think they're paying for time with an intellectual and in reality he's soaking them big time. $32K to be in HIS company? What a waste.

Because the one thing Los Angeles needs is more traffic to support a function that has nothing to do with the office itself.

Sean Penn, Gwyneth, ah yes those lovely actors from nepotism who get million dollar acting careers right out of High school because of mommy and daddy, they certainly know what’s good for the rest of us.

One thing about freeloading, Marxist politicians. They can’t get enough of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. If Barry was a Republican, what he’s doing would be called greed.

The last time that 0bama was in LA he capped of the trip with a speech at a trade school. Because of that speech the taxpayers paid for his trip. He will probably pull the same trick. After wining and dining in Brentwood and a night at the Beverly Hilton he will say hola to a bunch of illegals and we will pay for trip.
