George Clooney to Host Million-Dollar Obama Fundraiser in L.A.

The already sold-out event will be attended by celebs, studio heads and other industry types, each paying a whopping $40,000 to dine with the President at Clooney's Los Angeles home.

Obama's campaign also conducted an online sweepstakes for the event, in which one winner will receive two seats at the head table with the Chief Executive and "The Descedants" actor. Donations of $3 were asked to enter the contest.

Clooney recently met with Pres. Obama at the White House to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

George.... WHY? I thought U were on the side of good, light, truth. How disappointing. Exactly what has this man done for us non-moviestars? I will miss you. I will NEVER!! see any movies with you having anything to do with them. Your humanitarian work is EVIL. How can you try to support children while endorsing B.H.O. who is for shedding innocent blood. You sir are EVIL.Did you do it yet? Did you trade like Bob Dylin? We will all answer to a higher, THE HIGHEST COURT some day.

Well I wonder if any of the Hollywood actors even bother to watch the news. How can they even begin to raise this kind of money for the President who has not fulfilled even one of his promise. Maybe they are better off however most of the Country is not. I'll go to the movies even less now. STUPID is the best polite word for them.
