Looks like Obama is spending more of his time each week fundraising. He is literally not doing his job. He is campaigning, not governing. The man is a disgusting disgrace.
From the National Review:
Obama: At Least 74 Fundraisers Since January 2011

In the seventh paragraph of an article on page A7, the Washington Post acknowledges that a bit of administration spin is particularly unconvincing: “Aides said Obama is focused on governing, not campaigning, but he has held five fundraisers this week alone.”
Obama held 69 fundraisers between January 1 and December 1 of 2011, an average of one every five days.
Then again, perhaps Obama sees fundraising as a form of governing.

OK, so here is what actually happened just in case anyone is still looking at this page.
Obama arrived in Marine One at about 1:40 PM on the Northwest U fields. I was in a second story office room and had a direct view of him getting out, waving and walking to the limo. I was about 30 yards away. Few people get that close really to Marine One and a Presidential motorcade.
He spoke at Boeing in Everett at 11:30 AM, then flew to Kirkland. He is now extorting money from one of the one percenters in Bellevue.
This morning I got to campus at 8 AM and put two large Newt 2012 stickers on my rear car window. Then I parked on the street right where I knew the motorcade would pass by.
Turns out that at about 11:30 AM I got a call from our security. “Did you park on 53rd street?” “Yes.” “Well you need to move it because if not they will tow it.”
We had visiting parents and students on campus today, usually that means parking is tight and a major parking lot was closed, so parking on the street was justifiable.
Other cars on the street down two car lengths from mine were not moved (not on university property), but they knew who I was because of my employee parking sticker.
Didn’t want to pay for the tow, so moved it.
If I had been able to keep it parked where it was, I’m pretty sure that Obama would have seen the stickers.
Had to cancel my 12:40 class today because the students didn’t show and were so excited and unable to concentrate.
Turns out that there were seven choppers on the field on Wednesday practice and today five, with a sixth landing after the President left. Black Hawks. Two Army and two Air Force.
Kind of cool to see the military and secret service and snipers working. Wish it was a visit from president that I liked.
Funny because in my 9 AM class, four students had been assigned to debate the re-election of Obama. This was decided long before we knew Obama would land on our campus.
The students voted for the pro-Obama team. They had some really good arguments (Killed Osama, got us out of wars) and the anti-Obama kids were not as prepared.
I am thinking it might be rather difficult to unseat Obama. Few people are as informed as we are here at FR.
