Academy award winning actor George Clooney is set to host a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Switzerland next month.

The event, taking place on the evening of September 2 in Geneva, Switzerland will be split into two parts: a reception and a dinner. According to Obama’s National Finance Committee, tickets for the reception where Clooney will speak are going for $1,000, followed by a dinner at the home of NFC member Charles Adams for $10,000 a plate. Space for the dinner is limited to 75 guests.

Is this legal? Hosting a fundraiser on foreign soil? What about foreign donors? Isn’t that illegal or has Obama found a way to break laws and yet still remain the “anointed one”?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Switzerland ? Perfect.

I thought donations from foreigners was illegal!!!

The left is just clueless. Do they not understand how bad stuff like this looks to the average voter?

Ah yes..........the communists are organizing again. Hollywood needs to be black listed again. It worked for about 60 years, might as well do it again.

Good questions! I want to know this too. This is going to go over so well with those “bitter white voters” he seems to be having a problem with!

[seanmerc]

No, they don’t.

While McCain's money will come from the AFC or American Finance Committee

Darfur what? Let them eat cake. I need money for Obama.

[kromike]

I’ve never respected Clooney as an actor. No reason to respect him as a human being, either...

[1Old Pro]

No wonder the vacuous celebrity stuff is working.

[Anti-Hillary]

Ouch!!!! He’s gonna need to put some ice on that.

According to the article, only donations from US citizens with valid passports will be accepted (yeah, right). I see another ad about elitists and celebrities coming on.

The Blacklist was active for about a dozen years at most and was done internally by Hollywood studios.

I thought Obama was already running for Fuhrer (leader) of Deutschland (Germany). I love diverse languages. Maybe he needs a rally in Nurnberg.

So foreigners get to contribute to our presidential race?

Think about the carbon footprint!
