Hilarious.

(Politico) — For the second day in a row, President Obama used the Republican debates as a foil in a fundraising pitch in California.

“The other said has a very different idea of where to take this country,” Obama told rich celebrities in West Hollywood. “I urge some of you to watch the Republican debates.”

It’s unclear exactly how much of the debates Obama himself has watched. Press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that Obama “didn’t watch” them, but said that he has seen “sections of it replayed” on cable as he walked by TVs showing them.

Either way, Obama’s audience laughed, according to the pool, and he continued: “There’s a different vision who we are, what we stand for. The American people want a bold, optimistic vision of America, not a cramped vision that says, ‘you’re on your own.’”

The crowd included Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jack Black, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Jon Landau, Judd Apatow, Quincy Jones and Jerry Brown, the pool reports.
