Barack Obama’s West Coast fundraising profile takes huge leap thanks to Barbra Streisand who will headline the $2,500 per person concert September 16th at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.   The concert and party for 700 guests, co-hosted by the DreamWorks Team (Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen), will include Andy Spahn, a political consultant.

Earlier in the Democratic campaign, Streisand supported Hillary Clinton, but when Obama secured the nomination, Stresiand, a lifelong Democrat, gave her support to him. Previously Striesand campaigned for Bill Clinton and sang at fund raisers for Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. Additionally the diva donated $11 million last year to several causes, including environmental issues, civil rights, and AIDS research.

Streisand also blogs regularly about the state of politics, recently writing, "I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary – an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant – would vote for him because his vice president has two X chromosomes. McCain’s selection of Gov. Palin is a transparent and irresponsible decision all in the name of trying to win this election."

Earlier in the evening, Obama will attend a private $28,500 per person dinner at Greystone Manor for 250 people.
