Obama Campaign Will Celebrate Independence Day With European Fundraisers
With George Clooney, no less.
Apparently tiring of US soil as a source of campaign dollars, the Obama campaign is headed overseas — with its celebrity friends in tow. The European Obama campaign starts next week in Paris on July 4 with a reception organized by various fundraising heavy-hitters. Independence Day fundraisers in Paris – now that’s a flag-waving campaign.
The Obama campaign will host events in Geneva, Switzerland in August as part of their “European outreach effort.” George Clooney will headline a fundraiser there, with 150 tickets going for $20,000 per piece. There’s even more to the bargain: if you go as a couple, the second ticket is half-off!
You can’t make this stuff up.
The fundraisers are for Americans living overseas (at least, one hopes the campaign isn’t directly targeting foreigners for support), but you’d think Obama’s campaign would have their centerpiece events for the 4th of July holiday be somewhere, you know, in America.
