Obama dines with Disney executives, Julia Roberts at glitzy fundraiser in Bel-Air
President Obama dined with Hollywood A-listers and top Disney executives in Los Angeles during a quick visit for political fundraisers.
He spent Thursday night in Bel-Air for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reception and dinner with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the committee's chairman, Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.).
Tickets for the event ranged from $15,000 to $66,800 per couple. The event was hosted at the Spanish-style home of Alan Horn, Walt Disney Studios chairman, and his environmentalist wife, Cindy Horn.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts were spotted in the crowd.

(13,685 posts)If they can afford to buy democracy like that, they owe taxes to the government. We have veterans of wars homeless and on the streets of the US, because the government can't afford to take care of them. But by gawd, the money to get elected just keeps flowing and flowing.
I doubt we'd ever see Bernie at an event like this.

He's only out for himself. He knows very well that a President can't accomplish anything without the help of Dems in Congress.

The Clintons have raked in millions of dollars from their political lives and you actually sit there and get mad at Bernie? What in the world did he do to you?
