President Barack Obama’s fundraising trip to Los Angeles this weekend will provide a boost to his campaign coffers — and also an opportunity to soothe his Hollywood supporters left shaken after his widely-panned debate performance against Republican rival Mitt Romney.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Sunday night’s star-studded concert and $25,000-per-plate dinner will now have Obama “reassuring” his donors that he’s still committed to victory and ready for Romney in round two. As the Reporter noted, the entertainment industry has been a lucrative fountain for the president to tap this campaign cycle, but there is “no doubt” the Hollywood crowd was “deeply shaken” by what transpired in Denver on Wednesday.
“Everyone is in shock,” a “longtime Democratic activist” told the Hollywood Reporter. “No one can understand what happened.”
Citing “several longtime Obama supporters” the Reporter said Obama can also expect some camera-ready tips for the next go-around — “directorial notes on how to tailor his performance to television’s split screen.”
Obama’s night will kick off at L.A.’s Nokia Theater with Katy Perry, Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Jon Bon Jovi and others before headlining the dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s WP24. Both events could net more than $5 million for the campaign.
The trip will also include a private meeting with a dozen top donors in Beverly Hills, which former President Bill Clinton is expected to attend.
“Everyone with a connection to the president is reaching out to him,” another “veteran Dem” told the Reporter. “At the end of the day, the best coach he has is himself.”
"With just about a month until Election Day, Vice President Joe Biden is in the middle of taking nearly a week off the campaign trail. He will return to doing campaign events on Thursday, when he will debate Rep. Paul Ryan in the vice presidential debate.
On Friday, October 5, according to the White House, Biden spent the day working. In the morning, he was scheduled to attend the presidential daily briefing in the Oval Office, with President Obama. That afternoon Biden was to "meet with senior advisors," according to the White House.
For this weekend, the White House provided the following guidance: "The Vice President will be in Wilmington, Delaware. There are no public events scheduled."
As for the next three days, Biden will remain in Delaware. "On Monday through Wednesday, the Vice President will be in Wilmington, Delaware. There are no public events scheduled."
Meanwhile, Thursday, October 11, is a big day for Biden. "On Thursday, the Vice President and Dr. Jill Biden will travel to Danville, Kentucky. In the evening, the Vice President will participate in the Vice Presidential Debate at Centre College. Dr. Biden will also attend. This event is open to pre-credentialed media."
So while Biden is taking 6 days off the campaign trail at a crucial time in the presidential campaign, it's likely that he isn't completely off. He is said to be spending time with David Axelrod and other campaign advisers preparing for Thursday's debate."
“The trip comes on the heels of an unsteady debate performance by the president last Wednesday in Denver. Gallup’s daily tracking poll Saturday showed the president’s lead over Romney nationally slipping from six points midweek to just three points on Saturday.”
Sorry....IMHO, Biden will clean Ryan’s clock.
It sounds as though the commie freaks in Hollyweird might be starting to panic. The dream of a communist utopia is starting to fade.
Not even close!!
Can hear it now....
OMG OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

You are right except you need to add a bunch of f-words in there. OMFG... :)
He's also his own best speech writer, campaign adviser, and bowling coach. *Snicker*
Just like he did with Palin, right?
I read in a column in the Palm Beach Putz. There was an interview with Barbra Streisand. She said “thank God for Barack Obama!” I damn near lost my bagel.
Funny to hear a statement like that from an atheist leftist.
Romney's Rally! Crowd is building
I didn’t know she was an atheist. I’m not surprised.
I’d rather see him fundraising with his Hollywood lib pals than doing debate prep.
Let him spend all the time in Hollywood he wants.
The Palin/Biden debate was no big deal. Palin didn’t score...
That will teach ya. Never eat when reading a socialist rag.
“LOS ANGELES — President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at three campaign fundraisers in the Los Angeles area today, joined by former President Bill Clinton and actor George Clooney.
Obama is scheduled to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport aboard Air Force One from Joint Base Andrews early this afternoon, then join Clinton in speaking to 12 attendees at a Westside fundraiser, according to a campaign official who asked not be identified.
Obama and Clooney will speak at a “30 Days to Victory” concert at the Nokia Theatre at the L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles, where Jon Bon Jovi, Earth, Wind and Fire, Jennifer Hudson, Katy Perry and Stevie Wonder are scheduled to perform.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention, also are scheduled to speak.
Approximately 6,000 people are expected to attend. Ticket prices range from $44 to $2,500.
Following the concert, Obama will speak to approximately 150 guests at a $25,000 per person fundraising dinner at WP24 by Wolfgang Puck on the 24th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles at L.A. Live.
Proceeds from the fundraisers will go to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee of Obama for America, the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.
The trip will be Obama’s 12th to the Los Angeles area since taking office, the ninth solely for political fundraising. He has spoken at political fundraisers during all but his first visit to Southern California as president...........”

Yep! Biden wins with a bayonet in his mouth.

Demoralization is a weapon of the enemy. Don’t get it, don’t spread it!
"Obama's goin' down the fruit cellar with me; gonna say hello to mother."
You're really funny!
Oh, I know what he/she meant. Biden will “clean Ryan’s clock”. Rumor is Ryan just purchased an old dusty marble clock.

Sure sounds like you're rooting for that SOB to win.
Clint Eastwood understands.
I’d already finished the sports and the comics. You’re righ, though; I should be more discerning.
