The money that pours into President Barack Obama is about to open the spicket again. The president is taking to the road for a three-day West Coast trip that is expected to haul in millions of dollars for his re-election bid. This starts with the posh home of a Hollywood soap opera producer Bradley Bell, the executive producer of The Bold and the Beautiful, where 1,000 people paid hundreds of dollars apiece to support Obama and listen to the rock band the Foo Fighters expected at the event are Jack Black and Rashida Jones. The president also was attending a dinner at Bell’s Holmby Hills home, co-hosted by actor Will Ferrell, with 80 supporters paying $35,800 each. The California trip is expected to collect millions from six events in LA and San Francisco over two days. He was wrapping up the week with two fundraisers in the Seattle area. The president raised more than $220 million for his campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2011. President Obama is on his first fundraising trip outside Washington since his campaign announced it would encourage supporters to donate to a Democratic super PAC. We all remember when he said during his campaign he wanted outside influence out of politics and no name contributors was not only never be used but stopped during his administration.
