White House Spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that President Barack Obama will not be visiting the southern U.S. border anytime soon, even though he will be in Texas next week for a fundraiser.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has invited Obama a few times to visit the border to assess the immigration crisis that has evolved as tens of thousands of unaccompanied children try to cross into the United States. But Earnest said Obama at this point has not accepted. illegal immigration Barack Obama Rick Perry Texas fundraising politics

President Barack Obama is in Texas next week for a fundraiser, but won’t be visiting the border to assess the growing humanitarian crisis.

“Schedules sometimes change and if they do we’ll let you know, but right now there is no plan to visit the border while he’s in Texas,” he said.

Instead of visiting the border, Obama will fly from Denver to Dallas for a fundraiser on July 9, and then will leave Texas from Austin the following day. Earnest declined to call it a fundraiser, and instead said Obama would be “building some support for Democratic candidates for office who are on the ballot in November.”

Earnest was asked whether Obama was comfortable with the idea of holding a fundraiser in Texas people along the border are coping with what most agree is a humanitarian crisis. But Earnest indicated that enough senior officials are dealing with the problem at this time.

“This president is obviously very attuned to what’s happening at the border,” he said. “The president is getting regular updates on the situation.”

Yep, golfing and fundraising are his two biggest priorities. Going after is political opponents is third. Helping Islam ranks right up there. Anything to do with helping the country is way down the list.

Does anyone else have a problem with the Blaze website? It constantly seems to shut down my browser, IE. It also is incredibly slow reacting weather I use Int. Exp or Fire Fox.

I also have the exact same problems with the Daily Caller. I just can not stand going to their sites because of the way my computer reacts.

baraq doesn’t need to go to the border to see what is going on. He arranged all this, so he is fully aware of the situation.

Good point.
He doesn’t control his own schedule?
So, he is admitting that he is someone’s puppet?

Of course he’s attuned. He doesn’t care about the potential Dem voters - he wants cannon fodder.

Until the ISIS threat is eliminated and the invasion of the US through our southern border ends, why isn't it dereliction of duty for O to leave the WH?

If the HOR had any brains, guts, and integrity, they'd defund AF1 and all but a WH expense account for the pres.

“Schedules sometimes change and if they do we’ll let you know, but right now there is no plan to visit the border while he’s in Texas,”

So, there's no way they could reschedule the fundraiser?

The ads on certain conservative & GOP -ish sites slow my browswer down... I don’t stay at them long. Stupid ads cause it I think.
