President Obama Headed to Los Angeles For Fund-Raiser: You Can Attend For $100 if You're Under 40

He wants you.

President Obama, do you really love us?

Or are you just using us?

You've been here five times since you moved to Washington. You used to live here. Remember those college days at Occidental?

How come you don't visit more often? Only when an election's coming up, huh?

And what's with the $2,500 for VIP seating? Dude, you changed. Anyway, look forward to seeing you April 21 for ...

... yep, a re-election campaign fund-raiser at Sony Pictures in Culver City.

Bow-chika-bow-wow: Obama and his bell-bottoms at Occidental.

Is it that time already? Seems like just yesterday we saw you off to the White House.

Well, at least this is cool: People under 40 can attend this gig for $100. General admission tickets are $250. How democratic.

Look, here's the deal Barack. We'd like to see you more. But we know you have important business ahead.

If the American people believe this disaster we call the country's second-worse economic climate since the Depression is over, you'll go back to Washington for four more years (and probably forget about us).

If they blame this thing on you --- and cite your Russian billionaire-style spending spree -- you can always come back to L.A.

I wouldn't attend if it were free. By now we know Mr. Obama's eloquent words are meaningless and hollow. What was that...? Change? Change I hope you can believe in - but probably not, so let's wait and see what McConnell and Boehner have to say before we talk about change. Guantanamo? - changed my mind. Another war? Not on my watch, unless we have to invade Libya or somewhere. Mess with your Social Security - uh uh! Unless Mr. Demint wants to, then go ask him. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell?" Well, don't ask me and I won't tell you. Gay marraige? O.K with me as long as one man marries one woman - then I don't care if they call it a gay marraige or not.I don't care if it's gay as pink ink. I'm open in that way.Listen this is alota stuff for one man with no previous experience. Didn't even have a full term as senator from Illinois, so my prep time was practically nil. And I didn't have a track record to be judged on, and - between you and I, that's why I voted "PRESENT" 130 times or more in the Illinois sentate, so noone would know where I was really coming from. Then when the time came to commit, I could take one side without surprising the other, or take no side at all and let them fight it out. I would always smile at the winner and say "Congratulations, we won". That made it hard for anyone to call me a hypocrite - like they do now that they're catching on. But I don't care. I have made history by being the first black president, well, half black anyway, but it is much more meaningful to say the first black president. Saying I'm a half-breed might turn some people off and I'd lose some votes, especially Republican votes. Republicans don't like that kinda stuff. And I just can't go running around being all liberal and wasteful and being disrespectful to George W and his leftovers. I don't want them to think that ALL future black presidents would be screaming liberals, giving away the company store, especially to the poor.So I hired some of George W's leftovers. I don't know what they want to do either, but as long as they do some Republican things, I'm bound to get some Republican votes for it. And that's the name of the game. It's not how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose and I can't abide the idea of letting the first black President be a loser - Would not be good for the old image... for me nor for any African American man who tried to follow me. So I can't screw up and I figure as long as I am both a Democrat and a Republican, they will all vote for me and that will be the lesson I learn and the MO I pass on to the next black candidate so he can win too. That is really the change you can believe in, but I couldn't tell you till the time was right. In fact, ahh, ahh, aah, in fact, maybe we'd better keep it to ourselves until after the next election, in case I still can't think of anything to believe in, or make them think I really don't believe in anything at all, I just wanted to be their first black president. An Ah Ah aaaand as I think I've said, but I'll say it again...it's not how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose. Can't do that...can't lose, no matter what, uh uh! Besides, I was talkin' 'bout change I can believe in...not you! Woody McBreairtyWest Hollywood
