Lady Gaga shows at Obama fundraiser
ATHERTON, Calif. — Pop singer Lady Gaga was among the guests at a Silicon Valley fundraiser for President Barack Obama.

The intimate gathering was held under a tent in the yard of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg on Sunday night. Gaga wore a black, sleeveless gown and high heels, and with her hair piled up she towered over the Silicon Valley elites who were paying up to $35,800 per couple to attend.

Gaga attended as a paying guest. She said last week that she wanted to meet with Obama to discuss her concerns about bullying, but it wasn't clear whether the two would be having that discussion.

1. I wonder if she had to be "bullied" into attending?
There was an article (so many lately) recently posted that said the organizers were having a real tough time filling seats, in Hollywood of all places. It's ridiculous, but that's the kind of psyops that has invaded the leftosphere lately. I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would attend and/or pay for an event they didn't really want to? :shrug:

2. Didn't have trouble filling seats here earlier today!
at either the more "intimate" dinner (donation amount the same as in CA) and the line for the less expensive but still pricey later event was 3 blocks long.

3. So those media hit pieces on Hollywood being "hesitant" on
Donating to Obama was just more psych-ops. They sure know how to do it! Just as bold as ever!

7. But that's not what I heard. I heard on the internet, you could see tumbleweeds...
blowing through the audience, and I believed it, cause I read it on the internetz. ;)

6. If she can support Harry Reid, who is a lot more conservative and dynamic than Obama,
then surely she can support Obama...
