[AFP]Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand will perform at a glittering and lucrative Hollywood fundraiser for Democrat Barack Obama Tuesday, the AFP reports.
Obama will attend a dinner in Beverly Hills costing attendees 28,500 dollars each and Streisand will then sing at a reception at the swanky Beverly Wilshire hotel, costing attendees $2,500 per person, campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday. Under US law, the first 2,300 dollars of donations can go to Obama's campaign and anything over that will go to the DNC.
Politico.com has reported that upwards of 250 donors would attend the star studded, celebrity events expected to raise nine million dollars, which would be the most amassed by any candidate in a single day.
Apparently, the economy is not crimpling Obama’s fundraising style.
