Evans on stage with a somewhat uncomfortable Obama. Good for the
Slickmeister - he resisted the temptation to do an upper body scan or even
take a quick peek.
Code Pink's Anti-Semitic ties are well known. They join nearly 100 American based groups in their effort to side with the Arabs, while Obama attempts to ride the fence and appear to be supportive of both sides.
BigGovernment.com has chronicled Evans' extensive ties to Barack Obama:
- In February 2007, Evans co-hosted (along with her now-deceased husband Max Palevsky and Dreamworks executives Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg) a key Obama fundraiser just weeks after Obama had announced his presidential candidacy. Evans herself donated the maximum $2,300 to Obama’s campaign.
- In April 2007, the Obama presidential campaign announced that Evans was one of its early fundraising bundlers.
- In June 2008, Evans met with Obama at a high-priced fundraiser.
- In late August 2008, Evans attended the Democratic National Convention and, because of her status as a bundler, was invited to two private receptions with Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden.
- In September 2008, Evans attended two exclusive Hollywood fundraisers with Obama. Two weeks later, she met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York City.
- In October 2008, Evans worked with Code Pink’s Los Angeles chapter on a get-out-the-vote campaign in Obama's behalf.
- After Obama’s election as President in November 2008, Evans and some fellow Code Pink representatives traveled to Iran at the personal invitation of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
- On June 19, 2009, Evans visited the White House and met with Buffy Wicks, the deputy of Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. That same month, Evans visited the White House residence.
- In the fall of 2009, Evans, at a San Francisco fundraiser for Obama, personally gave the President a propaganda package compiled from her recent trip to Afghanistan, where she had met with the Taliban. The next day, Evans was given a briefing by Obama's deputy chief of staff.
- In Novmber 2009, when Obama announced his plan to send additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan, his staffcoordinated with Evans on the matter of how the anti-war left's dissent against that policy should be expressed.
