The power couple helped raise $4 million for the Pres and his re-election campaign, it was a whopping $40,000 a ticket dinner. Beyonce spoke very little at the event just saying “I can’t tell you how proud we are to host tonight’s event with President Obama. We believe in his vision.”
President Obama then went on the praise his hosts (via Deadline),
Let me just begin by saying to Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship. We are so grateful. Michelle and Malia and Sasha are mad at me because they are not here.
