President Obama has picked up a major celebrity endorsement – Betty White. The actress says that she normally keeps her politics to herself, but that she likes “how he represents us.” I wonder if that will help with the older demographic?
Speaking of President Obama, Ryan Murphy and his fiancé David Miller are going to host a fundraising dinner for the president, coinciding with a major Glbt fundraiser in Los Angeles. Dinner with the president will cost $40,000 per couple or $25,000 for singles, and between the concert and the dinner they expect to raise between $5 million and $10 million dollars. This is on top of the $15 million the president raised with the George Clooney fundraiser this past week.
