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.

1. Disney must be looking for more H1B visas

or looking for protection from lawsuits.

9. For a moment I wondered if Obama would tell them to cut out firing American Workers and replacing

them with cheaper foreign workers, BUT, then I remembered I don't believe in unicorns.

12. Yep. Sad but true about the Dem party in general.

I vote Dem because the republicans are gawdawful. But on H1Bs the Dems are pretty awful too, generally.

2. Go where the money is, duh !

3. Thank you Potus for doing your thang

4. They don't pay enough rent

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.

5. And the fact that Bernie isn't willing to lift a finger to increase the number of Dems in Congress

is a serious problem, not something admirable.

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

6. Why do you hate bernie?

What did he do to you? It must have been awful.

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?

7. "Bernie isn't willing to lift a finger"

OMG !
That's a quote from the Clintons and Debbie Whatshername Schultz.

8. The problem is making sure they are not the 1% Democrats who do the bidding of the 1% while screwing

over the people.

10. Surprised Hillary wasn't there....Too obvious?

13. Two Fundraisers with the Clooneys..while Bernie gives his talk at Vatican on...

"Money and Morality." What a contrast.... And, that its the same dates.
