4. And rich foreigners. It's ridiculous to think if foreigners wanted to "invest"

in a president, that he would have to go visit them to do it.

But I have to say, that just from those that could be being employed were these all held here, it's untoward for either candidate to be having fundraisers overseas, and the idea that Clooney is sponsoring one, and it's not in the US bothers me even more for some reason. Seems with two Americans at the center of the gala, it should be on American soil. They should come to him, he shouldn't be showing up like someone summoned by masters to receive his paycheck, it's unbecoming.

Just my feelings, not something I'd change a vote over or anything like that. I feel the same about this as I do SuperPACs, they just aren't good for sound governance.
