Obama Calls Lady Gaga ‘Intimidating’ [PHOTOS]
The iconic pop superstar attended a political fundraiser for President Obama in Silicon Valley, California. According to CNN, the $38,000-a-person fundraising event which was held in Facebook COO's Cheryl Sandberg's yard had an approximate of 70 attendees.
Obama and Lady Gaga crossed paths nothing longer than a couple of minutes and it was enough for the President of the United States to call her "intimidating."
"She was wearing 16-inch heels. She was eight feet tall. It was a little intimidating," the President said.
Reporters say that the famous singer was in a bouffant hair-do, with a black hairpiece and a black veil that tapered down the back. For even Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg who shamelessly attends important meetings in casual shirts and hoodies buckled up in a suit for the presidential event.
Obama recently spoke to gay advocacy organization Human Rights Campaign and recalled his encounter with the 25 years old pop star.
"I appreciate the chance to join you tonight. I also took a trip out to California last week, where I held some productive bilateral talks with your leader, Lady Gaga," the president said.
Lady Gaga showed up to Obama's fundraiser to bring up anti-bullying policies and enforcement. Last September 18, the singer was devastated by a tweet from an openly gay 14 year old fan Jamey Rodemeyer who committed suicide for being bullied.
"Bye Mother Monster. Thank you for all you have done. Paws up forever," the fan tweeted.
"I have so much anger," the singer said. "Bullying must become illegal. It is a hate crime. I am meeting with our president. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it."
Reports from ABC News stated, Lady Gaga asked President Obama a question during the Question and Answer. She then thanked him for his accomplishments and the anti bullying conference he hosted with wife Michelle Obama earlier this year.
