#2 Go Babs!
From Reuters
Rarely performing in public, Streisand sang at fund-raisers for the last two Democratic presidential nominees Sen. John Kerry in 2004 and then-Vice President Al Gore in 2000. They both lost to Republican George W. Bush

#3 Sorry but I thought there was a law about campaign contributions. 28,500 dollars is well above what an, indiviadual is allowed to donate if my memories don't fail me.

#5 Proceeds will be used to run ads that answer the unfair allegation that Obama spends too much time with celebrities.

LOL!

#7 $2500 to hear her sing, and $28 thousand to NOT hear her sing. Sounds about right.

#8 From the very intro of Hussein in the Dummo party, the Hollywood crowd, including many Jews, some practicing, some not too much, have been ardent supporters and contributors. Why ? It turns out that they are bought and paid for. By whom ? In the recent past, say the last 15 years, as the money behind each production has risen exponentially, money from old conventional sources has dried up. The H'weird crowd then went more unconventional...pension funds, hedgefunds, etc. Some success, but not a reliable, steady supply. So....after the Japanese took a H'weird bath, they turned to A-raaabs. Money from Dubai, UAE, etc. They are bought off to support the Islamic candidate. Same reason you don't see any films supporting US like in WWII. Only anti-American propaganda films. Sickening, truly rotted scum and very sickening.

That's the problem with 'reforms'. Yes, individuals are limited on direct campaign contributions. However, various paper fronts and Hollyweird accounting* mechanisms are employed to launder the money around the limits.

*Hollyweird accounting is where you can have a blockbuster film bring in a record take at the box offices but on the accounting books after everyone gets their 'piece of the action', the movie somehow 'lost' money.

#13 Looks like that nearly 20 year-old film footage of a younger Babs at the US OPEN did its job last week???

#15 The "Party of Change" is beginning to look a little recycled, out of touch, threadbare, trite, worn, elitist, and er, er, socialistic except for the elite. Their message is that "it is OK to redistribute everyone else's wealth except for ours".
