Obama Mining The Gay Marriage Gold Vein

The real reason for Barack Hussein Obama's evolution - cash.

President Obama's decision to support gay marriage this week is paying off in a big way with the LGBT community in Hollywood.

Obama is expected to attend an LGBT gala in Los Angeles on June 6, where ticket prices range from $1,250 to $25,000 apiece. As part of the same trip, Obama is also expected to attend a fundraiser hosted by Ryan Murphy, the co-creator of the show "Glee," and his fiance David Miller.

Like the fundraising dinner hosted by actor George Clooney on Thursday night in Los Angeles, which raked in $15 million, the dinner is expected to bring in millions of dollars for Obama's reelection campaign.

 Obama's endorsement of same-sex marriage on Wednesday has prompted a slew of big-dollar donations from the gay community.

Quite a change from a week ago when gay bundlers were holding back on Obama.
