George Clooney To Host Hussein Fundraiser In Switzerland
You remember George? The guy who says there is no blacklist in Hollywood? Why Switzerland, George?
(CNN)—Academy award winning actor George Clooney is set to host a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Switzerland next month.
The event, taking place on the evening of September 2 in Geneva, Switzerland will be split into two parts: a reception and a dinner. According to Obama’s National Finance Committee, tickets for the reception where Clooney will speak are going for $1,000, followed by a dinner at the home of NFC member Charles Adams for $10,000 a plate. Space for the dinner is limited to 75 guests.
Clooney made headlines in February when he told CNN he was hesitant to campaign for the presumptive Democratic nominee, calling it a ‘slippery slope.’
“I feel that at times you can harm the person that you are trying to help,” Clooney told CNN’s Kiran Chetry in reference to campaigning for Obama. “I don’t want to damage anybody.”
The Academy Award winning actor officially endorsed Obama early last year calling him a ‘rock star.’ Clooney compared him to the likes of John and Robert Kennedy saying, “Few people in my lifetime, that I’ve heard speak made me want to get up and do something,” but cautioned, “I don’t want to hurt him by saying that.”
Although next months fundraiser is taking place overseas, the campaign specified only U.S. Citizens with a passport will be allowed to contribute to the campaign.

August 6th, 2008 at 11:47 amSwitzerland ?? fundraiser ?? Why are europeans being used to subvert the elections here?
Money from any constituent group usually has some kind of agenda they would like moved forward, I can’t think of any european agendas I would like moved forward in the U.S..
OK CLOON! go to europe thinking you won’t damage anybody, I hope FOX news rips into this big time.

August 6th, 2008 at 11:54 amIt is illegal to take money from foreigners for campaigns. I hope there are names and proof of them attending said event when the money is added up.
August 6th, 2008 at 12:00 pmHey, gues what?!?!? I bet Georgie boy, along with Odumba are all about saving oil, that is why they are only going to Switzerland… okay, sarcasm button off.
More hypocrisy from the save the earth, reduce foreign oil dependency crowd.
Sounds to me like there are some people involved with this that are in the pocket of big oil, they have to be, spending that much money to fly half way around the world…
August 6th, 2008 at 12:12 pmOld Georgie boy must be lobbying for Secretary of the Inferior.
August 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pmClooney is a fag.
August 6th, 2008 at 1:36 pmMarc
secretary of the inferior.
i like that one
August 6th, 2008 at 1:50 pmI was just thinking I’d look this guy up. Great lead-thanks
I thought Charles Adam’s connection to the mid-east and the UN was interesting:
“Charles is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Centre for International Arbitration, a consultant to the United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations, and a frequent lecturer at the International Development Law Institute and other international organizations.”
So yes, Why would Obama’s National Finance Committee want to have a fundraiser in International Switzerland ? Something stinks and I hope Fox, et.al pursues this.

But these stories just can’t be true… Bambi promised that he doesn’t take money from lobbyists.
