Forget Obama -- Who wants to meet George Clooney?!

Forget Obama -- Who wants to meet George Clooney?!

Apparently "Dinner with Barack" wasn't drawing in enough dough. The Obama campaign is now hoping to woo some donors by raffling off a chance to meet the president and actor George Clooney.

A fundraising email sent out from the Obama campaign today reads:

Friend --

George Clooney is hosting an evening with President Obama, and we're reserving two seats for grassroots supporters like you.

Yes, you heard it right, dinner with President Obama... at George Clooney's house. Pretty incredible, right?

Any grassroots donation you make today automatically enters you and a guest for the chance to join Barack Obama and George Clooney in Los Angeles:

https://donate.barackobama.com/Obama-Clooney-and-You

Will you enter today for a chance to attend a once-in-a-lifetime event all for an important cause?

Thanks,

Julianna

Just three dollars, "or whatever you can" donate, will earn entry into the raffle attend the Obama-Clooney fundraiser, the campaign's website says... but, as with most promises from President Obama, there's a loophole for those rich enough smart enough to find it.

There's a bit 'o fine print when it comes to offers like this... and it goes something like this (emphasis mine):
