Hollywood insiders who support President Obama are worried his reliance on celebrity fundraisers could backfire.

The Hollywood Reporter says there is concern among some of the president's most ardent backers that $40,000 a plate fundraisers with "A" listers like Sarah Jessica Parker and George Clooney could paint the president as out of touch with everyday Americans.

A veteran executive said, "It's a mistake, he is supposed to be a man of the people and he is hanging out with Anna Wintour, \ is he trying to turn the election to a celebrity reality show?"
