Clooney To Host Obama Fundraiser In Geneva

August 06, 2008

November is right around the corner, and the presidential hopefuls need all the support they can get! Good thing for Obama, George Clooney has his back. He'll be hosting a fundraiser for Barack in Geneva, Switzerland in early September.

And not just any old Joe Schmoe can show up! The tickets are selling for $1000 a piece, and that doesn't even include the food! Plates start at $10,000 each. That's one expensive meal. Clooney was on the fence about hosting this event, for fear he would do more harm than good.

He told CNN, "I feel that at times you can harm the person that you are trying to help. I don't want to damage anybody."

He has a point! Sometimes celebs tend to harm rather than help during presidential elections. Just look at John Kerry!

What'll be the CARBON FOOTPRINT from all those private jets flying to Switzerland for this elite-snobs-only dinner? Or do these global warming hypocrites even care when it's being done in the name of their Obamessiah?

I solved the gas price crisis. All monies that I would ever given to political candidates are now my gasoline fund. Semper Fi

RE: Obama's fundraiser in Geneva. Perhaps some context is in order. Just recently, the US Senate held hearings on the Swiss bank UBS that allegedly helped 19,000 Americans avoid income taxes. Among other sanctions, this bank may face a $500 Million fine. Two questions: Given that the fundraiser is held in Switzerland, are any of those Obama donors also on the list of the 19,000 tax evaders? Moreover, is UBS co-sponsoring the event? Perhaps the HH-Show could do some research and, if possible, find the names on the list of tax cheaters and also find the names of the sponsors for the Genava fundraiser. Imagine there to be even one match between names on the tax evaders list and the list of Obama sponsors in Geneva. What would the MSM do?
