Barack-Star Obama

This week, Obama and the Democratic Party raised $9 million in campaign funding during their fundraising event. Jealous much, McCain? Obama called on his good friend Barbara Streisand to perform for the event at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Her concert cost $2,500 a head to attend. There was also an extravagant dinner held before the festivities that cost $28,500 to attend... Yes, you read it right-- $28,500. Barack's a baller baby. If you wanna be down you better come up off some serious dollas... Holla! Since August, the man has raised over $66 million for this campaign. That is staggering! 


Anyway, some of the big names to attend this week's event included: Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell, David Geffen and Jamie Lee Curtis-- just to name a few. In other political news, Obama is sustaining a 48 to 43 percent lead in the polls this week. Ya boi definitely got his swagger back. Do your thing Obama, let's get it!
