. . . According to pool reports, the Beverly Hills event included some high-profile names from Hollywood, such as top Obama donors Jeffrey Katzenberg and Harvey Weinstein. Singer-songwriter Joshua Radin performed before Obama spoke. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, music industry representatives Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy and Jerry Ross, film producer Steve Bing, Rob and Michele Reiner and Will Ferrell’s wife, Vivica, were also in attendance.
She spoke about the struggles of the middle class and of hearing their stories as she traveled the country. She said Obama’s “toughness and fight” comes from hearing the stories of struggling Americans.
“I hear the passion and the determination in [Obama’s] voice,” she said. “He says, ‘You won’t believe what folks are still going through.’ That’s what he tells me. He says, ‘Michelle, this ain’t right, and we have to fix this. We have so much more work to do.’ ”
She added that her husband is “very cute and he can sing, go figure.” The line was a reference to the moment last month when Obama broke into the song “Let’s Stay Together” at a campaign event.
Obama urged the crowd to get involved in the campaign in order to keep “fighting the good fight.”
