President Obama came to Atlanta to raise funds. Obama began his fundraising at a private residence where 75 people paid $10,000 each to attend. He then greeted 1,000 supporters at Perry’s studios, an event that included a musical performance by Cee Lo Green. Some of the tickets started at $500 with a smaller number sold at $250, according to the campaign. He also attended a dinner for about 35 people, including his friend Oprah Winfrey, at the home of super actor and film producer Tyler Perry. There, Obama said of his presidency: “This is not a three-year project. This is an eight-year project”.
