Controversial Actor Among Obama Contributors
One donation that may raise eyebrows is that of former "Grey's Anatomy" television star Isaiah Washington, who gave $2,300.
Earlier this year gay and lesbian rights groups demanded the actor apologize for using an anti-gay epithet while referring to cast mate T.R. Knight backstage at the Golden Globe Awards in January.
Washington later accused Knight, who announced shortly after the fracas that he is gay, of exploiting the controversy to enhance his role on the show and get a salary increase.
After a firestorm of controversy, Washington was fired in June from his role as a surgeon on the show.
