Obama campaign moves Emanuel New York fundraiser - USA - New York - politics - Rahm Emanuel

President Barack Obama's campaign has moved a New York fundraiser featuring Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Next Thursday's event originally was to be held at Pfizer's headquarters but now will be at New York's University Club. Emanuel was Obama's chief of staff before being elected Chicago mayor this year.

The Boston Globe reported Thursday that the event was moved after the newspaper asked about the propriety of hosting it at a pharmaceutical company regulated by the government.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt says in a statement to The Associated Press that the event had nothing to do with a specific company.
