Obama visited the historic Harlem theater Thursday for a fundraiser featuring neo-soul artist India.Arie and Al Green to benefit his re-election campaign. The day began with an appearance at Daniel Restaurant on Manhattan’s upper east side, followed by a $35,800 per-ticket dinner at Spike Lee’s house and ended with a song.
“Don’t worry Rev., I cannot sing like you,” he joked. “But I just wanted to show my appreciation.”
