Kanye West and Jamie Foxx performed at a party in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday night sponsored by Bono’s ONE anti-poverty campaign and the Recording Industry Association of America.
The event drew celebrities including Forest Whitaker and Ashley Judd, who arrived with Foxx waving an American flag. Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner and former South Dakota Sen. Tom Daschle also walked the red carpet.
“It’s an incredible time to be around. I wish my momma could have seen this day,” Kanye said as he spoke about Barack Obama being the first African-American Democratic Nominee.
Jamie Foxx then joined West onstage and delivered what was easily the strangest Obama song dedication at this week’s Democratic National Convention.
“We make history, man,” Foxx declared at the ONE campaign party. “With Obama, we make history. If you ready for Obama, make some noise. Yo man, let’s do this for Obama.” [VIEW VIDEO OF CELEB ARRIVALS]

Attention all media and hate bloggers. This blog is just me making a joke about gas prices. Loosen up.
