Robert De Niro has signed up to host a cocktail reception -- featuring first lady Michelle Obama -- to raise money for President Obama's re-election campaign, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The event, scheduled for March 19 at the Greenwich Hotel in New York, will be co-hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, Star Jones, Angela Bassett and Tina Knowles, among others. For $5,000, guests will get one ticket to the reception plus a photo with the first lady. For $25,000, guests will be allowed to attend a private "greet" session with Obama.

I'm starting to become real annoyed with these elitists.

Life is just grand for them, so of course they think the best thing for the masses is to inflict Obama upon us for another four years.

Yes they do. It's why they allow their agents to schedule them to do Political Fundraisers.

Stop the tax breaks to Hollywood.

They are the wealthiest members of the planet and make the largest profit margins.

Also they are the biggest polluters.

For $30,000 Whoopi will show them her 7 abortion pictures and De Niro will help her make a new one, he loves black women.

Move on folks , nothing to see here but scum.

Good thing. I heard this morning the Obama campaign is squandering money faster than the donations are rolling in.

This guy went from a good actor to doing anything for a buck. I’m surprised he isn’t selling autographs and selling pictures at trade shows. He’s fallen a long, long, long way from Raging Bull and its clear he just doesn’t care.

If we quit watching their movies, they will start feeling the pinch at the box office.
I will NOT help raise $$ for the leftists by going to their movies.....
We need to stick together in matters like this and make our voices heard thru our pocketbooks.

With all these fundraisers being held by the regressive radical types, I don’t think Barry’s internal polls are looking very good. For some reason, the commies seem to think that they are going to need a lot of money to get their messiah “elected” again.

If you've absolutely gotta see a particular Hollywood movie, there is always the internet to help you avoid subsidizing the industry. Most Hollywood movies are crap, anyway, so why bother watching them, but if you've gotta...

I haven't subsidized Hollywood in years. I don't pay for any TV hookups (no cable, no dish, etc.) and I haven't paid to see a Hollywood movie in almost a decade. I won't give a dime to those anti-American bastards.

Like attracts like....isn’t De Niro’s wife a black lady? Seems I read an article years ago he has a preference for dark skinned woman and ultimately married so.

But Hollywood is using their money directly to affect politics...and indirectly we’re the ones paying them to do so.

If we ever stop paying tax’s it should go along with a complete boycott of anything related to Hollywood...who props up the beast.

How much does a tug-of-war cost? What about Michelle against a team of five? Could we get a group rate?

The Hollywood elite are not affected by Obama’s socialist policies and they are out of touch with ordinary Americans and the real world.
Much of the Hollyweird adulation of Obama is based on his celebrity (first black president, etc.) rather than his performance.
