Obama & Hollywood billionaires & secret meetings. Will the media industrial complex help Obama win re-election?

"...President Barack Obama stopped for an undisclosed meeting with some of the entertainment industry's high-level executives, as well as talent representatives with access to the industry's top stars and musical acts...
The event was not a fundraiser, and attendees were not asked to donate to the Obama reelection campaign.

But those invited have been ardent supporters of the president and were identified as "influencers" with the ability to help Obama shape the national political conversation heading into a tough race in 2012.

Among the small group of industry insiders who were invited to attended the early-morning meeting with the president at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel were:

-Weinstein Co. studio head Harvey Weinstein,
-CAA managing partner and music head Rob Light,
-ICM president Chris Silbermann,
-Modern Family creator Steve Levitan,
-Atlantic Records chairman Craig Kallman,
-producer/songwriter Bruce Roberts,
-talent manger and producer Jason Weinberg,
-UTA music agent Rob Prinz,
-talent manager and producer Eric Ortner,
-Island Def Jam senior vice president Karen Kwak,
-Warner Bros. Records president Livia Tortella,
-talent manager Greg Mertz,
-ID PR publicists Kelly Bush and Mara Buxbaum,
-talent managers Bruce Flohr, Michael Green, Steve Moir and Bill Silva,
-Universial Music Publishing Group executive vice president and head of creative Tom Sturges,
-entertainment attorney Chuck Ortner and
-actor/activist Kal Penn.

Ingrid - what are you talking about? I can't tell much from your rambling - I think you are pro-Obama but you sure need to go back to school and learn to express yourself better - your response is nonsense.

It's extremely obvious that the mainstream media wants Obama to win re-election when they censor Ron Paul. Now whether it's because Obama's black and they just don't want the first black president to serve one term, or that it's simply because the Republicans have nobody better to run against him (again with the exception of Ron Paul), I don't know.

When the opposition is spending without limits, you do what you have to do. Match it whichever way you can. After all the Supreme Court (still unbelievable) makes us do it.

America is for Sale Fellow Americans. China did you hear me?
Who are the Republicans in cahoots with China? Not kidding Folks, not kidding. Crying.

Dunno. Maybe. Just like the Carlyle group helped Dubya facilitate 9/11, Skull and Bones helped him get through Harvard and Yale and his brother helped him steal the election in Florida in 2000.

@Sci - Makes about as much sense as your rant.

If it's so secret, then how are you able to come out here and post about it?

And I hope they help him to win.
