Barbra Streisand is still backing President Obama's re-election campaign, but she won't be singing for the president on his next fund-raising stop in Southern California.
Published reports had suggested the singer — who has lent her lungs to Democrats dating back to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson — would entertain at a May 10 event to be hosted by DreamWorks Animation's Jeffrey Katzenberg. Party officials have set a $2 million goal for the event.
