President Obama came to the right person to raise money Thursday night: “Sex and the City” icon Sarah Jessica Parker.
In one memorable episode, she said (as Carrie), “I like my money right where I can see it -- hanging in my closet.”
The president probably would prefer it in his campaign coffers. At the Manhattan home of Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick, Obama raised about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each to attend.
Broderick had to work – he’s starring in the Gershwin musical “Nice Work if You Can Get It” on Broadway.
Others in attendance included Meryl Streep, designer Michael Kors and Vogue editor Anna Wintour. First Lady Michelle Obama was there too.
Obama told the crowd he was running for a second term because “our work is not yet done.”
He also wryly remarked that he’s pretty far down on the White House hierarchy -- behind his wife, their two daughters, his mother-in-law and the family dog, Bo.
Echoing an argument he often makes on the campaign trail, Obama said his reelection matchup against presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney presents the American people with a stark decision.
“We’ve got as fundamental a choice this time out than we have had in 30, 40 or 50 years,” he said. “What we are going to have to do is present very clearly to the American people that choice.”
Later, the Obamas headed for a second fundraiser at the Plaza Hotel, where 250 people paid $10,000 each, the campaign said.
The proceeds from both events go to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint committee made up of Obama for America, the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.

He can't do that, in truth, so he'll have to obfuscate the issues, as we've already seen him start doing.
WE have to continue to get the truth of Obama's policies out to the voters, so that they can make a truly informed choice this time around.
I’m glad that the poor 99% of the American people were able to attend this event.
Shame on the 1% for not contributing to Obama. Oh they did? These were those filthy, not paying enought taxes, rich deadbeats who want dirty water, to drown kids with autism, and to shove grandma over the cliff? NOT
These were the filthy rich liberals and leftists whose hypocrisy is unlimited as is their pocketbooks.
I wonder if they invited any homeless people to attend this affair. How about giving them shelter in their Long Island and Manhattan multi-million dollar mansions and apartment complexes the size of a city block? NOT GONNA HAPPEN. THEY DON”T ASSOCIATE WITH THE WORKING CLASS OR THE REALLY DOWN AND OUT. They use their money to keep their distance from the peasants. Guilt donations, if you will.
What a singularly appropriate phrase.
“At the Manhattan home of Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick, Obama raised about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each to attend.”
To be fair, that price *did* include a meal of all the oats and sugar cubes you could eat...
Think Oblammer is a little late, Belmont ran last weekend..
Aw. They didn’t mention the protesters.
“Friends fear the 45-year-old actress’ health is starting to suffer as her marriage to screen star Matthew Broderick is strained, her weight is plunging and the fragile relationship with her co-stars is near collapse. Friends insist she and husband Matthew, 48, have never really recovered from the scandal over an alleged affair with a 25-year-old woman while Sarah was away filming the first SATC movie,” the tab writes. A source corroborates, saying the two basically live in separate houses and are only together whenever there’s a camera near-by and either has to promote one project or another.

It’s a shame horse face Parker didn’t get a chance at the Triple Crown.
Looks like post turtles to me
Is it true there’s a salt lick on the outdoor patio?
These supporters are useless to America as is Obama .Actors are frivolous brain warped trash.
What is parker’s claim to celebrity ? portraying a horse faced slut among other whores in Sex in the city.
Zer0 may have more interest in meeting Matthew than Sarah.
Meanwhile, out on the west coast, Sheldon Adelson smiled and said... “A mere pittance.”
If another painfully lame SATC movie is what it takes to keep her in the lap of luxury, Sarah will “Have Another.”
Maybe Ferris Buehler really doesn't like Obama— after all he wasn't there, instead acting in a play with a very appropriate title!
Buehler? Buehler?
“Zer0 may have more interest in meeting Matthew than Sarah”
Given the slant toward “alternative” lifestyles to which 0bama has “evolved” in recent weeks, perhaps he`s fantasizing about such a meeting ...over wine, candles and the sounds of Barbra Streisand. Just the little detail of finding someplace to park the wookie for an hour.
Are you ready to throw - Xp? Anna Wintour joins Jessica
Parker with this fundraiser for BHO. Notice, it’s not held at HER house.
I bet if you surprised Anna, woke her up in the middle of the night, she wouldn’t have the accent.
