George Clooney is raising more money for Barack Obama – but in Geneva this time, not Hollywood. After a May 10 dinner at his LA home raised a record-breaking $15 million for the president’s reelection campaign, Clooney is now set to star at another soiree for Obama in Switzerland. The Americans Abroad event, announced on the Obama campaign’s website, is scheduled for August 27. Obama will not be attending. Tickets range from $1,000 each for the reception and $5000 for a photo reception that is expected to have about 150 guests. A more 
private dinner will cost $20,000 for a individual ticket and $30,000 per couple. The reception and dinner will be hosted by the campaign’s Euro outreach co-president Charles C. Adams Jr and Matthew Barzun. The location has not been determined, according to the campaign. The news today comes as Young Hollywood — and, with David Fincher and Peter Frampton on board, not-so-young Hollywood — prepare for an event for Obama set for tonight at LA’s Soho House. The president will not be in attendance as he was at Clooney’s house or for lucrative fundraisers at Glee creator Ryan Murphy’s place on June 7 and Sarah Jessica Parker’s NYC home on June 14.

Of course he needs more money. Romney just raised over 4 million dollars in less than 24 hours because of the health care ruling.
Only 4 million? The Koch brothers were too tired from raping the American people to donate more than that?
Pathetic. Leftists are running out of any reasonable epithets. Unfortunately, there are way too many fools and parasites in the world who can’t wait for another “revolution”, re-distribution of wealth, “social justice” and other empty-worded crap that can help them to stay lazy and demand more and more.
How bad is Obama? The Soviet Union kinda bad. How bad is Clooney? As bad as anyone who thinks he is a good filmmaker. Peggy is one of them. Foolishly pathetic.
… it’s illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to U.S. politicians and political parties. Are there really enough Americans Abroad to make an event like this worth it?
… I bet someone on the other team is gonna investigate the hell out of these donations.
Clooney just became my favorite actor. As much money as he’s raised for Obama they probably should just go ahead and make him vice-President already.
Sure. I think Obama and Clooney should run the country. Not USA, of course. Maybe the small one with no population. Then they can build whatever they want for “the better future of mankind”.
Since the Wall Street $ have dryed up the entertainment industry is one of the few places he can go.
I consider the Ides of March to kinda be a slap in the face to Obama so Im surprised by all of this…and im surprised Obama is allowing Clooney to proceed, not unless he never saw the movie.
You can almost smell the desperation of a failing presidency. I like George Clooney in some movies but this has the stink of desperation.
Let’s all open our eyes and admit it. Obama is a one term president. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I guess these fine United States couldn’t stomach an internationalist, european as their president.
His values in no way reflect the values of this country. They most resemble european values.
President Obama, you promised so much and delivered nothing but disappointment.
This is getting embarrassing. Clooney and Obama need to get a room already.
DOWN LOW!!!!
Great! Obama and Clooney can get away from broke, racist, asshole Tea Party hillbilly losers like those who are commenting in this thread. I hope they raise a million dollars.
Maybe they can visit Romney’s bank accounts while there.
First there was Michele Bachmann’s controversy with her Swiss nationality. Then there Mitt Romney was attacked for a supposed Swiss bank account. And now Clooney is raising money for Obama in Switzerland.
Who knew the American political class had so many ties with this tiny little country ?
