"That damn Tea Party is screwing everything up...Gotta find mo money!"

No, it’s not your imagination: President Barack Obama is spending a whole lot of time fundraising, perhaps more than any incumbent president in history.
Including this week’s trip to California, he will have spent eight of 24 weekdays during the past month – that’s a third of them - on the road and collecting cash.
His event Thursday morning will mark his 153rd fundraiser since announcing his reelection bid last year. That’s nearly double the number that his predecessor George W. Bush had attended by this point in his reelection campaign, according to CBS’s Mark Knoller, who put 43’s early June number at 79.
Neither White House nor campaign officials responded to messages seeking comment.
Republicans have pounced on the increasing amount of time Obama has spent on fundraising, calling him “the campaigner-in-chief.” But Obama’s harried pace can also be viewed as just another example of what a big deal money has become in American elections, particularly since outside groups with unlimited contributions have dramatically upped the ante.

The weekends are strictly reserved for golf and "puttering" around the house.

He is also out campaigning/fundraising on June 6.
He pretty well ignored June 6 last year.
It’s all about him.
baraq opera: me me me me me.
Are the costs of running Air Force One being charged to his campaign?
Or is he getting a freebie all over the country???
