Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama put in face time at a fundraiser held Friday by Jon Bon Jovi at the rocker's home in New Jersey. "We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about. I don't believe in coming in second," Obama told the guests, who each paid $30,800 for the privilege of meeting the nominee. "The American people can't afford for us to come in second. We've got to win this thing, and we're going to win it with your help."
*Obama's interview with Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly Thursday night brought "The O'Reilly Factor" the second-highest ratings in its history. The show averaged 6.6 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research said Friday, bested only by the March 19, 2003, "O'Reilly Factor" that led into President Bush's nationally televised speech about the beginning of the Iraq War. O'Reilly will have more excerpts from the interview today, Tuesday and Wednesday.
*Obama's wife Michelle appears on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" today as the first guest of the show's sixth season. Among other issues, she'll discuss the drama surrounding Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and her pregnant 17-year-old daughter. She tells Ellen "one of the reasons why I'm proud of my husband" is his silence about Palin's family issues. "I know that they care about their kids, and we should let them deal with this issue," said Mrs. Obama, 44, the mother of two young daughters. "This shouldn't be an issue for political discussion."
*In other Michelle Obama news, she attended a fundraiser with celebs Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Denzel Washington and Barbra Streisand at the Hollywood Hills home of Samuel L. Jackson. Washington showed up late because he was watching the acceptance speech of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin. Streisand, once an avid Hillary Clinton supporter, was reportedly listed as a VIP, which means she must have donated a minimum $28,500 to the presidential nominee, reports FoxNews.com. The evening raised more than $1 million for Obama�s campaign.
