GEORGE CLOONEY - CLOONEY PLANS SWISS DINNER FOR OBAMA

GEORGE CLOONEY is hoping to drum up financial support for U.S. presidential hopeful BARACK OBAMA by hosting a dinner in the Democrat's honour.

But the ritzy experience won't take place on American soil; instead, the movie star will stage the two-part gala in Geneva, Switzerland - a short hop from Clooney's holiday home in Lake Como, Italy.

Rich fans and local tycoons will be able to hear Clooney speak at a private reception on 2 September (08) for $1,000 (GBP500). The actor will then host a dinner for 75 guests, who pay $10,000 (GBP5,000) for a seat.The money raised will go to Obama's campaign.

The dinner party fundraiser is a dramatic turnaround for Clooney, who recently insisted he wouldn't be backing either Obama or his Republican rival Senator John MCCain.

The actor told CNN, "I feel that at times you can harm the person that you are trying to help. I don't want to damage anybody."

For 75 guest, and presumably Barack Obama, who wants to guess at how many private jets, limos, SUVs will be used this weekend ?

But you little people, remember to inflat those tires!

Yet another example of the complete and abject hypocrisies of lib dims. Remember just a few short months ago the dims were going batshit over W, making a "political speech", on foreign soil. Oh the shame. Oh the heart felt indignation from the left. What have they done since? Obama took his campaign to Europe and the Middle East.

Now Cloony wants contributions from Europeans. That shouldn't surprise anyone. The dims want the U.S. to be more like Europe.
