Obama: George Clooney and Me Are ‘Dope and Hope’ By CNSNews.com Staff May 11, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - At fundraiser dinner at the Hollywood home of actor George Clooney on Thursday night, President Barack Obama joked that he and the actor were “Dope and Hope.”

“It was wonderful,” Obama said, “walking through the house, and the famous ‘Hope’ poster from the 2008 campaign--people don't realize that the photograph of me is actually me sitting next to George, because George had come into D.C. to advocate on behalf of Darfur and to make sure that we were doing the right thing for so many people who were going through such horrific events, and we struck up a friendship.

“And this is the first time that George Clooney has ever been photo-shopped out of a picture,” Obama said. “Never happened before, never happened before, will never happen again.

“But the wonderful thing is the artist actually sent George--some of you have seen this--a print with my picture and his picture right next to each other with the same , in the same format,” said Obama. “Why he said at the bottom, ‘Dope and Hope’ I don't know. I don't think that's fair. That's not fair. That's not right. It ain't right.

“But, look, I cannot take credit for this,” Obama told the group that included many Hollywood stars—who were charged $40,000 a piece to attend.

For some reason, I thought Robert Downey Jr was more of a conservative. I am disappointed. Oh well, shouldn’t matter; just liked the idea of another Conservative in Hollywood.

You think he would have gotten those Iron Man roles if he didn't toe the Party Line?

Tom Selleck would not be able to find work, were he starting his career today. Hollywood is a closed shop now.
CLOSED to all but the left.

There have been rumors for years about Clooney being gay. Could be true with him always out front on gay agendas.

Can you define “dope” their, B. Hussein? Does it mean Clooney is stupid or that he uses his nose as a vacuum?

It’s getting a little bit shady but look who we’re talking about. How about Slurp and Burp? I bet they both had a toss salad after dinner.
