clooneymanGeorge Clooney, who last month pulled in a record $15 million for President Barack Obama’s re-election during a fundraiser at his home, will host two more events on the president’s behalf this summer — this time, in Switzerland.

The actor will attend an “Americans Abroad for Obama” event in Geneva on August 27. Charles Adams, the group’s co-president, told the Tribune de Genève newspaper that Clooney will speak at a reception for 150 supporters, followed by a smaller dinner for 50 people.

The cost of attendance? That would be $1,000 per person for the first event, and $20,000 per person (or $30,000 per couple) for the second.

According to Swiss news site The Local, Clooney took part in a similar event for Obama four years ago that brought in $900,000.

    Foreign campaign contributions are illegal. 0bama is in open violation of the law, but that's okay, right? Why should he change now? It's not like anyone is going to do anything about it.

    Besides, collecting money from non-citizens is a crime.

    He campaigned in Berlin last time, why not Geneva? He wants to be the new world leader!

    Many people in Hollywood and other 1%'ers are traveling to Geneva to give birth so their kids can have dual citizenship. For example, Sasha Alexander from L.A. (Daughter in Law of Sophia Loren) explains to her 6 yr old Lucia why she was not born in the USA.

    HE shouldnt be allowed to be going outside of the US to raise money for his campaign IN the US, he must be afraid that the USA wont support or donate enough to his cause.. which is Destroying The USofA one right at a time!!

    Not only is OBUMMER a major HYPOCRITE about fund raising and campaigning he now goes half way around the world to get money. I might think that it would be illegal to collect foreign money like the way he allows illegals to sponge off of the US dollar.

    I am Deeply Ashamed of George Clooney as a fellow Kentuckian . I passed through his hometown several times a year as a child , up until my early adulthood . It is a beautiful old river town on the Ohio River where people are VERY conservative . Maysville , KY gave birth to a Rich 1%'er who is so out of touch with his fellow Kentuckians as to be repulsive ! George WENT HOLLYWOOD and never looked back ! ................... sad .

    I agree 100%, I'm sorry if my comment did not get that point across.
    I simply meant that they too are surprised by Mr Clooney's behavior.
    I visit family several times a year in many areas of KY such as Lexington, Cynthiana, California and Scuddy in Hazard Country.

    My great grandfather, share cropper and gardener, (as well as all 9 of my aunts and uncles) were born in a one room shack #8 on the CV Whitney farm :)

    Not even close to being Constitutional. Bedsides Obama has already gone through the Swiss like "Moody's Goose" in his second year gathering up every American with an account over there..... The taxation must have been enormous. Unconstitutional too. Isn't it time to take out the Kenyan? . . We got a very slim chance .in November but if it's a close race Obama will have the recounts until they benefit him...... Hell, He'll do this even iof he loses by a wide margin

    I thought that people who were not citizens could not donate to an American presidential campaign. My understanding was that was why the Obama Campaign avoided using AVS to trace credit card donations.

    it looks bad when you have to go outside the country to raise money. Pathetic to say the least.

    He'll never reach the $1Billion figure he touted that his campaign would raise so they have to go to outside sources in socialist Europe to scrape their barrels clean.

    Doesn't really matter though because the Romney SuperPACs are on fire and every time 0bozo or Joey open their yaps, the funds come pouring in.

    It's estimated that Romney will have nearly $2 Billion in help for campaign ads in educating America about who Barry Soetoro really is and what a second term would mean for this Nation.

    It was the 'trendy' thing to do at the time and many wanted to say they voted for the 'first black pResident'.

    That all changed quickly as they watched him blow the chance of a century right out his keister in miserable fashion.
