Obama Visits Apollo Theater in New York City Fundraising Trip 
--------------------------------------------------------------



President Obama was in New York City on Thursday for a busy night of
fundraising. Obama greeted supporters at a Manhattan restaurant and at
the home of the film director Spike Lee, where guests dined at a cost of
$38,000 dollars per plate. Obama then appeared at Harlem's historic
Apollo Theater, where he sung a line of the soul legend and event
performer Al Green's hit song, "Let's Stay Together." A crowd of around
100 protesters with Occupy Wall Street and other groups demonstrated
outside of the Apollo.
