"Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 are to host a fundraiser for US President Barack Obama. The couple will welcome guests to their 40/40 club in New York City next week, according to The New York Post&amp;#039;s Page Six.   Tickets for the September 18 gala are expected to cost $40,000 each. This will be the last Obama fundraiser in New York City before the November 6 election. Jay-Z formally endorsed Obama&amp;#039;s re-election bid in September 2011, saying at the time that the president made Americans feel as if they &amp;quot;were all a part of the American Dream finally&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I still think he is the best man for the job, so yes [I will campaign for him]. I think he got a raw deal and he got a really tough economy,&amp;quot; he said. Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 famously expressed her own admiration for the president&amp;#039;s wife Michelle Obama in an open letter published this year. &amp;quot;Michelle, thank you so much for every single thing that you do for us - I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to,&amp;quot; Beyonc\u00C3\u00A9 wrote of the first lady. Vogue editor Anna Wintour will also be hosting upcoming Obama benefits in Paris and London. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
