U.S. President Barack Obama is on
his campaign for a second term in the White House count on prominent
supporters.
The latest example: a glamorous
dinner in honor of the President on Thursday, organized by actress Sarah
Jessica Parker ("Sex and the City") and "Vogue"-Chief Anna
Wintour.
Parker has already filmed a TV ad
will attract millions of young voters for Obama. "He's the guy who ended
the war in Iraq, who says that you are allowed to marry whomever you want, and
has created four million jobs," praises the actress in the spot and raffle
tickets for their Obama-Celebrity party. "We need him and he needs
us."
Many Hollywood stars have in the
past about openly for the candidates of the Democratic Party. Even President
Obama relies on the support of his celebrity fans. More than 15 million dollars
(12 million euros), he gained in the past month on a single evening as the
actor George Clooney hosted a banquet for him. Price of a ticket: $ 40,000
(approximately EUR 32 000). Obama chatted with many other events with stars
such as Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Cher and more eagerly filled his
campaign fund.
Obama needs the money of his
prominent supporters. Although he has already collected $ 60 million, his
Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, but about five months before the election,
already 76 million dollars in campaign cash.
In the White House shows it to be
unimpressed by the criticism. Romney did well but his prominent donors said
Obama spokesman Jay Carney. Among them was such a controversial contractors,
media mogul and would-be presidential candidate: "I tell you to just two
words. Donald Trump"
