It was one of his promises : Total transparency about his funds. Indeed Barack Obama published on the Internet (website : pic2009.org /donors) the name of all the donors who took part in the financing of the Inauguration ceremony, on the contrary of his predecessors who kept the list secret. The donors are, for the most part, Hollywood stars and leaders from the New Technology Industry.Barack Obama refused to take money from any company, politic organisation or lobby which don’t have the American citizenship. The list includes : Steven Spielberg and his wife who each gave 50.000 dollars, the maximum sum it was allowed to give per person.The actors Hall Berry, the first black woman to receive an Oscar in Hollywood,Sharon Stone and Jamie Foxx, gave also 50.000 dollars. But the Giants of the New technology also participated like Eric Smidt the the leader of Google who gave 25.000 dollars or Steve Ballmer from Microsoft who gave 50.000 dollars like his wife Connie. This funds will be used to organize a lot of balls and other prestigious events around January the twentieth. Lots of stars will attend to the ceremony : Like this, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Amadou and Mariam, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Leona Lewis or Will Smith will come to sing this night to « Feeding America » profit, a fundation working for helping the more penniless. Next January 20th will be an historic night, where America will change face and where generosity and hope will be the main values
