The 9 0’Clock News - Lady Gaga meets Barack Obama

Lady Gaga meets Barak Obama

Last week we told you that Lady Gaga planned to meet with US President Barack Obama to talk about how they can tackle bullying.

Gay rights activist Gaga was distraught after hearing that a 14-year-old fan had committed suicide after being bullied over his sexuality, so the flamboyant singer pledged to meet with the President and put a stop to bullying, she even tweeted, “I am meeting with our president. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it.”

Well, Gaga has stayed true to her word, meeting up with Obama at a political fundraiser in Silicon Valley, California. According to reports Gaga attended the $35,8000 a ticket event (we’re sure she can afford it) that was held in the garden of Facebook bigwig Cheryl Sandberg and had just 70 people on the guestlist.

According to sources, Gaga quizzed Obama during a Q&A session and thanked the President for his previous work against bullying, a source tells ABC News that Gaga “asked everyone in the room, including the President, to do what they can to prevent bullying.”

Go, Gaga!

    I have no idea why they are showing that picture of Gaga, it isn't what she wore to meet the president. By all accounts it was a little black dress of some description ;o)

    I'm sorry to say it, but I really don't think there will ever be an end to bullying.... Not because we don't do enough, or there aren't people who want to stop it, but because it's human nature, we all do it. Even when we grow up and stop with the usual school yard bullying...
