Obama's comments were the usual blah, blah, blah, but some of Paltrow's are the stuff of legend.
"The actress introduced the President to a crowd of 200 supporters. She gushed: "You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly.” Paltrow also described herself as one of Obama's "biggest fans, if not the biggest.”
"Paltrow, who was joined by her children Apple and Moses, told the crowd: "It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass."
She cited sustainable energy efforts as well as Obama’s push for equal pay, which she called “Very important to me as a working mother." According to Politico, "She makes $16 million per movie..." Is it any wonder "equal pay" is so important to her?
ZitatThe supposed spy reveals, “It was pretty pungent, and I don’t think she had a clue,” adding, “I saw at least two people wave their hands in front of their noses after passing her.”

Legendary alright Cincy. Imagine these words came from the mouth of an American? We don't give such concentrated power to ANY one individual, that's the wrecking ball dream of dictators.
She's a utopian dreaming of a totalitarian rule. "Of, relating to, being, or imposing a form of government in which the political authority exercises absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life, the individual is subordinated to the state, and opposing political and cultural expression is suppressed"
We so badly need God's help....

Blowback from some ungrateful wretches who don't appreciate the honor they have received from having HIM merely set foot in their neighborhood. (Is it possible: racism in an affluent area of LA? Could it be possible?)
"...her Los Angeles neighbors lashed out Friday that the Paltrow-hosted presidential fund-raiser had come at their expense.
Traffic stood still, children were stranded at school, residents could not leave their own driveways. That’s not the way life is supposed to be lived in Mandeville Canyon.
In a post on the Nextdoor Mandeville Canyon website, a private social network for area residents, Bret Lewis said that the neighborhood did not need people like Ms. Paltrow “who pay no heed to the concerns of their neighbors.”
He went on to solicit support for having Ms. Paltrow kicked out of Mandeville Canyon. “She belongs in the movie theaters, and President Obama can entertain in the Staples Center,” he said.
The anger began building outside Ms. Paltrow’s home on Thursday even while Mr. Obama mingled inside during the two-and-a-half-hour event, where it cost a $1,000 donation to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to listen to the president, and $15,000 to have dinner with him.
“I have a crying child on a soccer field!” one woman yelled as she passed by. (She was one of the few residents who were allowed to drive through.)
Mr. Lewis, in his post, said his family ended up in a restaurant “with a bunch of other displaced residents.”
“My 13-year-old daughter broke into tears, was unable to do her homework,” he said. “We finally got home at 9:00 and my daughter was up late studying, ultimately ill-prepared for her exams.”
Kim Peterson, in another post, said residents were misled about the extent of the presidential security and the impact it would have on traffic. “The biggest problem yesterday is we did not know the Canyon would be totally closed down,” she said. Otherwise, she said, “we could have all planned accordingly.”
But in Mr. Lewis’s opinion, it was “more than poor planning, it’s an abuse of power and, most importantly, unneighborly.”
