Actress Sarah Jessica Parker is the latest celebrity to fundraise for President Barack Obama.
Appearing in an ad, which debuted during the MTV Movie Awards, the “Sex and the City” actress said “The guy who ended the war in Iraq, the guy who says you should be able to marry anyone you want and the guy who created 4 million new jobs, that guy – President Obama and Michelle are coming to my house for dinner on June 14 and I want you to be there too.”
Parker urged the audience to go to joinobama.com to enter for a chance to win a ticket to the fundraise “because we need him and he needs us.” The ad was shown during the timeslot to appeal to a younger audience.
Joining Parker in her crusade to get people to support President Barack Obama, longtime “Vogue” editor Anna Wintour also appeared in a Web ad asking people to enter for a chance to win two seats at that dinner.
“The timing might be a little off,” said Joe Scarborough, given the juxtaposition of a dismal Friday jobs report and the Hollywood fundraiser being such a 1 percent event.

I love it when Joe is wrong, and it happens so frequently too. Parker, Wintour, the First Lady, these are the perfect people to be representing the Pres. especially at a time when the Republicans are yet again denying women's equal rights this time in terms of pay. This mornings show (6-5) was hilarious as Mika and Sen. McCaskill got Chuck Todd and Michael Steele to squirm in their seats as they tried to justify the Republicans ridiculous stance with regard to paying women less for the same work performed by men. It's amazing how one party can be so wrong on so many issues. It's almost as if they're trying to commit suicide or as if they have literally made a pact with the devil. One can only shake ones' head in disbelief.
I am finding the Morning Joe show more and more entertaining. Chuck Todd's comment that Walker could lose because although most people may agree with his policies they may just hate him as a person shows that Republicans just can't admit that their policies aren't acceptable to many if not most voters. I seem to 'recall' thousands of Wisconsinites assembled in the capital because they hated Walkers POLICIES. Specifically they were upset because he busted the unions instead of creating jobs which is what he ran on. Busting unions was something he never mentioned when he ran. Republicans seem to consider only the wishes of other Republicans and completely discount everyone else they represent which is the problem with Republicans holding office.
