Hollywood bailing on President Obama and the Democratic National Convention

LOS ANGELES – President Obama recently praised Hollywood superstar George Clooney, calling him a “wonderful guy” and good friend. But even in the wake of the headline-grabbing compliments, a rep for the Oscar-winning actor confirmed he will not be attending the forthcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Charlotte, North Carolina.
And it seems the majority of Clooney's high-powered Hollywood counterparts are also passing on the 2012 convention – a far cry from 2008’s showdown in Denver, Colorado which attracted dozens of A-listers including Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Silverman, Fallout Boy, John Legend, Cyndi Lauper, Ashanti, Fran Drescher, Ashley Judd, Rage Against the Machine, Aisha Tyler, Anne Hathaway, Susan Sarandon, Jon Hamm, Cash Warren, Jessica Alba, Fergie, Will.i.am, Kanye West, Matthew Modine, Kerry Washington, Stevie Wonder, Rosario Dawson, Jennifer Hudson, Shawn Johnson, Forest Whitaker, Star Jones, Wilmer Valderama, Daniel Dae Kim, Kelly Hu, Jamie Foxx, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Chevy Chase, Richard Dreyfuss, Melissa Etheridge and Pharrell Williams.
Just to name a few.

There are things that even a committed narcissist cannot stomach.
I guess you can draw more of them to a party than you can to a funeral.
They possibly don’t want their own images to go down the tubes with Barack.
Have we sunk to the level where we consider people like this relevant?
George Clooney is a superstar? Who knew? I guess they just keep setting the bar lower and lower and lower.
Nobody likes a loser. And, Obama is about as big a loser as they come. Even his sychophantic media and DNC henchmen don’t even try to be enthusiastic about their defense of him. Going through the motions and wishing November was come and gone already.
they will send money, they just don't want to lose more box office ticket sales than they already are...
Look, folks, forgetting the Obamabot media rants, raves and spins, the Democrat National Convention is going to be a big bust. Of course, no one of the “beautiful” people, including Democrat candidates up for re-election or election, want to anywhere near Obama, the failed POTUS!!!
The TV viewership will be barely measurable, at best. I would suggest that the major networks put their muscle and effort into the RNC, because once the RNC concludes only the DNC boredom and failure is left!!!
Hollywood idiots bailing out on Obama??? What is this world coming to????
I’m shocked, just shocked!!!!
If Obama has lost Hollywood, then he will have lost.....Hollywood.
All the GOOD film production is going on in Canada, anyway.

By what measurement on the planet Earth are these “units” considered “A-listers”?
Nothing more boring than a bunch of pompous self-serving Hollywood elitists.
In my humble opinion it’s far too late for that.
I guess they can still go to their shrinks to rationalize their own self esteem.

Sho-biz people are about themselves first and foremost. They, of all people, know what it means to have your name associated with a flop. That is why they are running for the exits when it comes to obozo. I know a few have hosted some fundraising dinners but hat is like having a cameo.
obozo has become toxic.
Clooney is on my list of people I refuse to watch,
Along with Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn,and after hus sorry campaign fooled me I added Fred Thompson.No one ever dissappointed me any worse than he did.
“Hollywood is being gutted and parceled out to lower cost locations, which are also invariably less leftist than Hollywood. I wonder if that will have an effect on the leftist slant.”
I have not kept up at all with things Hollywood, so your comment is new to me. Would you be willing to amplify? How is it being gutted and parceled out? If so, it sounds like good news, and a long time coming!
ditto
could care less about the dnc and even moreso the hollywierd crowd ... the networks were first...i see the whole hollywierd rip off next. Haven’t been to a movie theatre in years and won’t ever go back. Too many old classics out there that I have seen and will see again and too many I have NOT yet seen so...who needs the crowd that hops in and out of bed with someone in most movies??? Trash is outside in the recepticle... that’s where it belongs.../
