beyonce says: "48 days until the election"

last night Beyonce and Jay Z hosted a $40,000 per plate fundraiser at the 40/40 club last night

President Obama had some high words of praise for his hosts at the party, as well, joking that he's actually got a lot in common with rap superstar, and new dad, Jay. "Jay-Z now knows, you know, what my life is like," he said. "We both have daughters. And our wives are more popular than we are ... So we've got a little bond there. It's hard, but it's OK." 

He also noted that first lady Michelle and his daughters Malia and Sasha were mad at him because they could not make it to the fundraiser on a school night. Obama thanked both stars for their generosity toward his children and singled out Beyoncé for being a good example to the girls.

"Beyoncé could not be a better role model for our daughters because she carries herself with such class and poise," he said. "And has so much talent."
