President Obama and Former President Bill Clinton will team up next month for yet another joint big dollar fundraiser. But you don't have to be a rich celebrity to attend the New York City event. The campaign is inviting two grassroots supports for as little as 3 dollars!

Similar to the successful fundraiser with George Clooney, every small dollar contribution will be automatically entered to win a seat at the June 4th event with Clinton. The campaign promises to pay for travel for the two winners and their guests. Earlier this month, the Obama campaign raised over $8million from supporters hoping to be invited to Clooney's house.

The former president appeared at a joint fundraiser in April for Mr. Obama, contributing to the $43.6 million raised by the campaign in April alone. Clinton's New York City event in June is the second of three events the former president will hold for the sitting president. (read more)

President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will remain at Camp David Saturday evening after the G8 Summit ends. While the other leaders will return home or head to Chicago for the NATO Summit, Obama and Merkel will hold a bilateral meeting the White House announced Saturday.

The G8 meeting was originally also scheduled in the president's home town of Chicago, but he moved the summit to the presidential retreat in order to create a more relaxed set of talks. And while many leaders have been taking walks around the camp grounds and having smaller casual discussions on patios, Chancellor Merkel and President Obama have more to discuss.

"Chancellor Merkel was one of the leaders that president Obama was able to talk to last night after the session," Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said Saturday, "he's also going to have a bilateral meeting with Chancellor Merkel after the conclusion of the G8. So the president will conclude the G8, he will have a statement to the press, and then he'll have a formal bilateral meeting actually here at Camp David with Chancellor Merkel." (read more)

When world leaders arrive at Camp David Friday evening to begin the G8 summit, they will add a new chapter to the history of the rural retreat that is an iconic part of the presidential past. The hideaway tucked into the Catoctin Mountains in western Maryland has never hosted a meeting of this magnitude.

"[T]he G8 meeting will be the largest gathering of leaders ever to stay at Camp David," National Security Director Tom Donilon said Thursday. "In fact, this is the first time that there will be more than two heads of state at Camp David."

The White House wants to make the gathering of leaders of some of the world's biggest economies an intimate affair. The leaders will meet around a dinner table in one of the camp's cabins and each will be provided accommodations for themselves and one aide.

Being the first to host the leaders in this type of setting is an idea the president liked as the decision was made to move the gathering from Chicago where some of the leaders will head Saturday night for a NATO summit. (read more)

President Obama will host the 38th G8-Summit at Camp David Friday, but the group will look quite different than their last meeting. Of the eight countries represented for the two day talks, four have elected new leaders since the summit hosted by France last year.

France, Italy, Japan & Russia all have new presidents or prime ministers.

The new French President, Francois Hollande sworn into office last week, is visiting with President Obama in Washington prior to the start of the summit.

Hollande is a socialist, who made campaign promises to withdraw all French troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2012, breaking from the NATO agreements of his predecessor, a point expected to be discussed in the coming days.

Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda of Japan took office in September & visited the White House in April. Italy Prime Minister Mario Monti was sworn into office in November. This is his first visit with President Obama.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is not attending the summit, but sending Prime Minister and former president Dimitry Medvedev to do his bidding for him. Medvedev has much experience with President Obama. The two most recently held a bilateral meeting in South Korea at the Nuclear Summit earlier this year. (read more)

President Obama has completed what he called his "evolution" on the issue of gay marriage. During an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, Obama openly endorsed same-sex marriage.

But while this decision will play well to an important part of his base, it also poses some risks for Obama in his re-election efforts.

Following Tuesday's election results in North Carolina, there are now 30 states that have constitutional amendments and/or laws banning same sex marriages.

These states combined represent a total of 309 electoral votes.

Perhaps more importantly, there are also seven critical battleground states among this group: Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Michigan and North Carolina. These states account for 114 electoral votes.

To put that in context, that number alone is more than 40 percent of the 270 electoral votes a candidate needs to win the presidency.

Just because states have provisions barring gay marriage doesn't mean their voters would reject Obama in the fall on that single issue.

Senior administration officials, though, have told Fox News they simply don't know how Obama's endorsement will play, since this is unchartered territory for a sitting president.

Chief White House Correspondent Ed Henry contributed to this report.

During a campaign rally in Cleveland a woman in the audience was asking Mitt Romney a question, but also commented that she thought President Obama should be tried for treason.

Romney answered the woman's question about the US Constitution but did not address her assertion that President Obama should be tried for treason.

After the event Romney answered a reporter's question on the subject by shaking his head and saying "no, of course" President Obama should not be tried for such an offense.

President Obama's re-election team suggests Romney's original silence on the matter spoke volumes. "Time after time in this campaign, Mitt Romney has had the opportunity to show that he has the fortitude to stand up to hateful and over-the-line rhetoric and time after time, he has failed to do so," said Obama Campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith.

Fox News Producer Nicole Busch contributed to this report.

On the same day the Obama campaign revealed the first in a series of political ads devoid of political attacks, Senior Campaign Advisor David Axelrod derided several Romney backers as "contract killers."

In a conference call with reporters Monday, Axelrod said the positive spin on the new ads, focusing on Obama's accomplishments rather than reverting to political attacks, doesn't preclude the campaign from reacting when it sees fit.

"We're also going to be prepared, and I want to be clear, to respond to the attacks that we expect to continue from-- not just from the Romney campaign but from the Karl and Koch brothers contract killers over there in SuperPAC land, who are going to continue to pound away on behalf of Governor Romney," Axelrod said.

"We will respond vigorously," he added.

Charles and David Koch are billionaire oil industry brothers who fund "Americans for Prosperity."

Bush alumni Karl Rove founded "American Crossroads."

The administration originally fought against the political advocacy groups known as SuperPACs, which have limited reporting and funding restrictions. The president his since made a turn-about, not only embracing the idea, but backing a SuperPAC working on behalf of his re-election.

"Priorities USA Action" was co-founded by two former Obama staffers. (read more)

The Republican National Committee filed a formal complaint with the Government Accountability Office Wednesday, accusing the Obama administration of using taxpayer funds to campaign on President Obama's recent trip to three swing states, despite White House claims President Obama was giving speeches at official events.

"Throughout his administration, but particularly in recent weeks, President Obama has been passing off campaign travel as "official events," thereby allowing taxpayers, rather than his campaign, to pay for his reelection efforts," the complaint letter by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus read.

The president gave speeches on college campuses in North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa in front of large crowds of students in which he called on Congress to prevent a hike in federal student loan interest rates. The RNC noted the location of the speeches, the large boisterous crowds and some of the president's recent rhetoric in its complaint, saying they created a campaign-like atmosphere. (read more)

BOULDER, Colorado - President Obama is trying to jazz up college students and younger voters as he travels on a two-day battleground state swing where he'll push preventing a federal student loan rate hike.

A voting bloc that is notoriously unreliable, the president beat expectations of youth voters in 2008 and shared a large majority - two to one over rival Senator John McCain, R-Ariz - but is facing a harder sell to galvanize the youth vote this time.

Recent data shows the rough job market for recent grads at play and they may be less likely to actually show up and vote. A recent Fox News poll show that the president's favorability among voters under 30 has dropped 5 percent while his unfavorability has gone up 9 percent.

"In 2008 President Obama was a very unique candidate. He really captured the imagination of a lot of people who either had never been energized by politics or it had been a very long time before they had been excited about a candidate," said Nathan Gonzales of Rothenberg Political Report and Politicsinstereo.com founder.

[N]ow that he's an incumbent, he's had to make some decisions that aren't necessarily popular, and he's also responsible for the direction of the country, some of that shine has worn off with younger voters," Gonzales added.

The president is spending Tuesday and Wednesday in key political states he won last time, but still needs wins in - North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa. (read more)

President Obama spoke about the Secret Service Colombian prostitute scandal for the first time since returning from Cartagena, calling most agents' work incredible and those involved in the scandal knuckleheads.

"The secret service, these guys are incredible," the president said. "So a couple of knuckleheads shouldn't detract from what they do but what these guys were thinking I don't know. That's why they're not there anymore."

Mr. Obama made the comments during a taping of the NBC talk show "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he gave a speech on student loan interest rates.

Asked about the scandal that overshadowed the president's trip to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas, President Obama noted the majority of Secret Service agents do a great job protecting him and his family.

"They protect me. They protect Michelle. They protect our girls," he said. "They protect our officials all around the world. 99.9 percent of them every day, they put their life on the line. They do a great job." (read more)
