LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Actor Will Smith and basketball standout Earvin "Magic" Johnson for dinner and Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas for post-meal mingling. President Barack Obama waded into the domain of the stars Monday as he hit the California fundraising circuit in one of his busiest donor outreach trips of the season.

Smith, in an elegant three-piece suit, and Johnson, the standout former point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, were guests at the home of producer James Lassiter and his wife, Mai. About 40 contributors, including actress Hillary Duff, contributed $35,800 each for a cozy dinner and a chance to chat with the president. Obama, eager to reinvigorate his supporters, ticked off his administration's accomplishments.

These are official campaign contributions. Where are the names of who and how much they contributed? I’d like to know because I will not be watching anything that those “stars” or “celebrities” make for a very, very long time, if ever again.

“Obama, eager to reinvigorate his supporters, ticked off his administration’s accomplishments”

That would include the murder and sodomizing of Gaddafi. Highest unemployment numbers in decades along with the highest misery index.

Hilary Duff, cute as a button, dumb as a post.

and where have you been these past 10 years when these POS’s were verbal annihilating the country since Bush in 2001?

[ntnychik]

Just hangin’ with the millionaires and billionaires.

I thought they were all down at the OWS.

Luckily we already have a good idea who the sane Hollywierd types are. I tend to immediately categorize all others as likely fellow travelers of Zero and the slob M. Moore.

[Swede Girl]

I will not go to any of their movies. Because they can emote, sing, or display some other kind of talent does not mean that they are intelligent. Their support of Obama is a slap in the face to my family and my country.

I wish there was a definitive list of Hollywood liberals. It would be great to have a list of Hollywood conservatives, too...even though it will be a short one.

Obama, eager to reinvigorate his supporters, ticked off his administration's accomplishments.

That conversation only takes one minute, unless he talks abut the negative accomplishments.

So, has that 1.7 Ton Mirror from the German Satellite hit the Earth yet?

Well, I can dream...

....Hanging out with the “millionaires and billionaires”.

Wait! These are artists and athletes. That makes them ‘good’ “millionaires and billionaires”.....

[Recovering_Democrat]

Will Smith? Damn that disappoints. I thought he was smarter.

[originalbuckeye]

Obama showed up at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles? Preaching to the choir. The article lists very few celebrities. I know they are still supporting him but maybe they don't want to be named?

[BilLies]

“THE ONE PERCENT”

[3Fingas]

Nope. He and his wife were big 0 supporters last time. Forget Hollywood. These people are mentally damaged just like all liberals. There was a reason that actors were thought to occupy the bottom of the social ladder for hundreds of years.

[ScottinVA]

Ah, the Man of the People mingling with the commoners again..

Oh, wait...

The local TV stations in the SFBay area mention that 'Bama is here to raise $$s but quickly switch to the obligatory shot of the One prancing down the Air Force One steps.

You can still see the stars in the eyes of the brain-dead newsreaders. Like the Hollyweird idiots, Zero still gives them a thrill up their legs.
