                 Clooney to Host Star-Studded Obama Fundraiser

   by VOA News

   U.S. President Barack Obama has departed Washington on a trip to
   California where he will attend a fundraiser Thursday evening at the
   home of Hollywood star George Clooney.
   150 donors have been invited to dine with the president. The dinner is
   expected to raise $15 million for Obama's re-election campaign. $6
   million of that amount comes from attendees who paid $40,000 per ticket
   to the event. The rest comes from an online fundraiser that raffled a
   chance to attend the event to small-dollar donors.
   While in the western United States, Obama will also attend fundraisers
   in Washington state and Nevada.
