How Much to make certain not to have Obama there? Dinner With Barack: Obama Letting Americans Choose His Next Celebrity Guest

"The Man Who Came To Dinner"
I'd rather have dinner with Sheridan Whiteside.

Dinner With Barack: Obama Letting Americans Choose His Next Celebrity Guest - The Hollywood Reporter
 6/12/2012 by Tina Daunt

This time around, a suggested donation of $3 not only gives you a chance to bring a guest of your choice to dinner with Obama, but also the opportunity to “weigh in on who you think should join President Obama.” (The date and place for the dinner have yet to be determined.)
As the Obama-Biden re-election campaign’s announcement of the competition says: “You not only have the chance to sit down for a meal with the president and a guest of your choice. You also get to help pick the president's guest ... And he's had some pretty amazing dinner guests lately: George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parkerand, of course, President Bill Clinton. So tell us, who's next?”
No word from the campaign on how they’ll handle requests for people like the Dalai Lama, Fidel Castro or even Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. As for celebrities, that presents another set of challenges. Would Obama -- already under criticism for spending too much time Hollywood liberals -- really want to be photographed deep in conversation with Sean Penn?
