Jay-Z, Beyonce raise money for Obama
Source: Washington Post
President Obama assumed the role of celebrity-in-chief again Tuesday with a glamorous fundraiser at the downtown nightclub of hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and his wife, superstar singer Beyonce.
Obama addressed a group of 100 supporters at the club 40/40 on West 25th Street, his supporters having paid $40,000 apiece for the privilege of sipping champagne, lounging on luxurious, pale couches and noshing on hamburger sliders.
Obama began his remarks on a lighter note, thanking Jay and Bey for their hospitality and noting how much he and Jay-Z have in common.
Jay-Z now knows, you know, what my life is like, the president said. We both have daughters. And our wives are more popular than we are. He turned to his host and added: So-- you know. So weve got a little bond there. Its hard, but its OK.

(552 posts)Whenever they find one crazy Hollywood celeb it is all good. Whenever one of the 99.9% of them support Obama it is awful. Personally I don't care for the music of Beyonce or Jay-Z, I am more of a GaGa and B.I.G. guy but I appreciate their support!
Right On!
