How does Barack Obama lure wealthy donors to a big-money fundraiser in Hollywood? Bring in Barbra Streisand as the headline performer.
The Oscar-winning singer and actress was to perform Tuesday night on Obama’s behalf in Beverly Hills. It was to be a two-step evening with a reception and dinner costing $28,500 a person followed by a later event featuring Streisand at $2,500 a ticket.
Obama was flying to Los Angeles after an appearance Tuesday morning in a Denver suburb.
The wealthy fundraiser comes on a day when the crisis in the U.S. economy remained an urgent issue for many Americans. Monday’s sharp sell-off left the Dow Jones industrials and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index down by more 4 percent, eroding the value of individual retirement and investment accounts, for example.
Streisand originally backed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton but switched to Obama when he emerged as the Democratic presidential nominee.

So this cost $ 31,000.- just a dinner and a concert...so much for Obama to be one of the average Joe!!!
Well, I'll post the link again that has the story about Streisand AND about McCain's little fundraiser Monday night. For balance. Because if $28 thou plus means Obama doesn't qualify for Average Joe, what does McCain's $50,000/plate mean?
McCain is not campaigning by saying he is raising taxes for peoplewho earn over $ 250 K....which will hurt every person in America and is a bad deal....Obama claims with all things he has done and said...to be one of the most liberal person in this Country and than having dinners like this.....well it is all part of the lies and smears he is trying to sell to people who easily fall this crap. Economist have been stating how bad Obama is for the economy and you don't have to be the smartest to understand how bad Obama and Biden are for this Country.
Obama and Biden can't even a question by starting to answer with John McCain's name first......just because hot empty hope and change isn't much to sell.
