Perhaps his campaign makes up for that with Ne-Yo, whose black and Chinese heritage may just embody the kind of kind of cross cultural heritage Obama, who was born to a Kenyan father and white American mother hopes to sell.
Tickets are $250.00 VIP Seating, $50.00 General Admission and $25.00 Students.
