When Obama sits down at George Clooney’s house to dine with 150 members of Hollywood’s 1 percent, there will be two or three 99 percenters there as well. The LA Times says Clooney’s fundraiser, which is expected to garner $15 million in donations for the president, took a novel approach and opened up two seats at the $40,000-a-plate tables for winners in an online contest that “astutely leveraged Clooney and Obama’s joint star power.”
