Campaign season is in full swing, which means both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama
are hitting up their wealthiest supporters for some cold hard political
cash. For the POTUS, those supporters include some of the biggest names
in the celebrity world, like Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z.
The pop culture power couple proudly hosted an Obama fundraiser Tuesday night for his reelection campaign, and both the President and his wife Michelle were on hand to shake hands, make small-talk, and collect some big-time checks. The evening wasn't all electioneering and political brown-nosing; President Obama addressed the crowd of 100 to talk about his family, the hosts, and the common ground between them.
After Beyonce thanked the attendees, who paid $40,000 per ticket, and introduced Obama by saying she believed in his vision, the President took the stage at Jay-Z's 40/40 club in Manhattan to express his gratitude. "To Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship. Beyonce could not be a better role model for my girls," he said to much applause.
