Hollywood superstar GEORGE CLOONEY has helped raise thousands of dollars to inject cash into U.S. presidential candidate BARACK OBAMA's race to the White House by hosting a Swiss fundraising gala.
The actor was reportedly the star attraction at the event on Tuesday (02Sep08) at an exclusive venue in Geneva, Switzerland.
Over 170 U.S. citizens paid $1,000 (GBP550) each to attend the lavish party in a bid to raise nearly $1 million (GBP550,000) for the Democrat's election campaign.
Clooney, a staunch Democrat, has spoken out before in support of Obama, saying, "I've been an Obama guy for a year-and-a-half and I'm very excited by his campaign."
