Appearing at the Fig and Olive restaurant in West Hollywood, Obama spoke to a group of Hollywood and music industry big wigs who had paid $17,900 apiece to get in. The group included DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenburg, who introduced the president, along with actor Jack Black, actor Danny DeVito, actress Rhea Perlman, producer Jon Landau, director Judd Apatow, music producer Quincy Jones, and Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown, among others.
The celebs were seated at round tables with white table linens in the hip, modern, sleek restaurant, with high ceilings and a wall of wines in front of which Obama spoke. David Plouffe and Jay Carney were among those working the crowd before the remarks began.
In his introduction, Katzenberg said: “I have a dependency on President Obama. He inherited a crashing economy and two wars and opponets who questioned if he was even board. Yet he kept us moving fowrad. … He was dealt adversity on all fronts, but he maintained his stature. … We must keep fighting for him so he can keep fighting for us.”
Obama got a standing ovation.
Polly thinks President Obama should start reaching out to more than his Hollywood supporters if he wants another term. The people of America need you, Pres.
