A new headliner has just been announced for a big Barack Obama fundraiser on September 16th.

Set to preform for the Presidential hopeful is the diva herself, Barbra Streisand, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles.

This is also expected to be Obama’s final visit to raise money before the general election.

The evening will start at 5:00pm with a dinner for about 250 people at a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Tickets will be on sale for the event for the small price of $28,500!!!

Perezzers will not be attending, although we did contribute to his campaign, $28k is a bit too much for us.

Later that evening, Obama will attend the party at the Beverly hotel which will be followed by Streisand’s performance.

It will be co-hosted by the DreamWorks Team (Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen) and will include Andy Spahn, a political consultant.

Tickets for that event are sold separately. They cost only $2,500 per person.

Streisand has been a big supporter for the Democrats. Back in 2000 she sang at a concert for Al Gore and again in 2004 for John Kerry.

This year she even spoke at a fundraiser to support Hillary Clinton, though she then endorsed Obama once he secured the nomination in June.

Babs has even posted a wonderful blog on her official site where she claims Sen. John McCain must think females are stupid.

She writes, “I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary — an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant — would vote for him because his Vice President has two x chromosomes. McCain’s selection of Governor Palin is a transparent and irresponsible decision all in the name of trying to win this election.”

She added, “John McCain has served this country. No one in this election is denying him that. But his selection of Governor Palin has demonstrated that he is willing to put his desperation to win this election above the welfare of the American people.”

We’re impressed. We live Babs even more now!
