The last time President Barack Obama flew to New York for a Broadway show, it was for a long-promised date with his wife.
Today’s New York trip was a less intimate affair: a $1,250-per-person fundraiser with gay and lesbian activists and a $35,800-per-plate dinner with Wall Street bankers. After dinner was a performance of the musical “Sister Act,” where he will be joined by the show’s producer, actress Whoopi Goldberg, and young Democratic donors.
