Obama laughs off debate performance among stars

us President Barack Obama mocked his own underwhelming debate performance against Mitt Romney when he attended a star-studded fundraising event in Los Angeles.

President Obama spoke to thousands of supporters at the Nokia Theatre, including Hollywood stars George Clooney and Jennifer Hudson, as well as musicians Katy Perry, Jon Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder.

The event was expected to raise several millions of dollars for the President's advertising campaign with just one month remaining in the tight race to decide who will occupy the White House.
