President Barack Obamas fundraising trip to Los Angeles this weekend will provide a boost to his campaign coffers and also an opportunity to soothe his Hollywood supporters left shaken after his widely-panned debate performance against Republican rival Mitt Romney.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Sunday nights star-studded concert and $25,000-per-plate dinner will now have Obama reassuring his donors that hes still committed to victory and ready for Romney in round two. As the Reporter noted, the entertainment industry has been a lucrative fountain for the president to tap this campaign cycle, but there is no doubt the Hollywood crowd was deeply shaken by what transpired in Denver on Wednesday.
Everyone is in shock, a longtime Democratic activist told the Hollywood Reporter. No one can understand what happened.
Citing several longtime Obama supporters the Reporter said Obama can also expect some camera-ready tips for the next go-around directorial notes on how to tailor his performance to televisions split screen.
Obamas night will kick off at L.A.s Nokia Theater with Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Jon Bon Jovi and others before headlining the dinner at Wolfgang Pucks WP24. Both events could net more than $5 million for the campaign.
The trip will also include a private meeting with a dozen top donors in Beverly Hills, which former President Bill Clinton is expected to attend.
Everyone with a connection to the president is reaching out to him, another veteran Dem told the Reporter. At the end of the day, the best coach he has is himself.
That will teach ya. Never eat when reading a socialist rag.
“LOS ANGELES — President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at three campaign fundraisers in the Los Angeles area today, joined by former President Bill Clinton and actor George Clooney.
Obama is scheduled to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport aboard Air Force One from Joint Base Andrews early this afternoon, then join Clinton in speaking to 12 attendees at a Westside fundraiser, according to a campaign official who asked not be identified.
Obama and Clooney will speak at a “30 Days to Victory” concert at the Nokia Theatre at the L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles, where Jon Bon Jovi, Earth, Wind and Fire, Jennifer Hudson, Katy Perry and Stevie Wonder are scheduled to perform.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention, also are scheduled to speak.
Approximately 6,000 people are expected to attend. Ticket prices range from $44 to $2,500.
Following the concert, Obama will speak to approximately 150 guests at a $25,000 per person fundraising dinner at WP24 by Wolfgang Puck on the 24th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles at L.A. Live.
Proceeds from the fundraisers will go to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee of Obama for America, the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.
The trip will be Obama’s 12th to the Los Angeles area since taking office, the ninth solely for political fundraising. He has spoken at political fundraisers during all but his first visit to Southern California as president...........”

Oh, I know what he/she meant. Biden will “clean Ryan’s clock”. Rumor is Ryan just purchased an old dusty marble clock.
