Only this time, Barack Obama will be a little less subtle about his purposes. On the second day of the Republican Convention, Obama will do some low-key fundraising
among Hollywood heavyweights
in Geneva, Switzerland. George Clooney will arrange for a $1,000 a plate reception, but thats just the appetizer: 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 Obamas 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.

So - Obama is now resorting to going to Europe to raise money... Isn’t that somehow illegal? I realize that a lot of Hollywierd celebs will be there, but I would imagine most of them have already limited out on donations...
Methinks the FEC needs to keep a VERY close eye on this.
Oh - and I have a question - isn’t there a limit on the contributions I can make to an individual’s campaign for POTUS? So the way around it is to pay $10K for a dinner? Might as well auction off a lock of the candidate’s hair for a starting bid of $1 million. Would that not be just as “legitimate”?
Ummm...hello.... he isn't running for President of the World? He sure seems to think so. I guess all those German and French votes will put him over the top in the final tally of....errr...
Nevermind...
Remind me again which party is the smart one.
A more interesting date is 9-5-08.
Clooney is gay, maybe a little bi, but mostly gay. Not that Clooney and Obama are intimate in that, but Drudge is hinting at something with this pic. He chooses his pics on purpose.
Naw.... Drudge never stirs things up...

What happens on 9-5-08?
Is Larry Sinclair under the table?
Good. Let him go. This is great for Republicans.
That’s what I was thinking. Isn’t it illegal to take foreign funds?? Isn’t that what Gore got in trouble for??
The real election begins after the final convention. People will start paying attention after Labor Day and after the end of both conventions.
Hopefully they all MOVE to Europe after the election !
I feel that at times you can harm the person that you are trying to help, Clooney told CNNs Kiran Chetry in reference to campaigning for Obama. I dont want to damage anybody.
This guy does not have a clue as to how irrelevant he is.
I can’t understand why he doesn’t go after becoming Secretary General Of the UN. It would be perfect for him. He could lord it over the celebs, hang with his favorite dictators at thier palaces, and pork out on fine foods all the time with the internaitonal press lauding him.
I don’t think he would have to bother with the American people at all.
