Priorities: Obama Will Spend Three Days Fundraising For Democrats

by Stephan Tawney on August 16, 2010

Question: How does Barack Obama find three days to fundraise for Democratic candidates in between not resting until his thirteen “top priorit(ies)” have been addressed? Ah, well.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is out to make sure his presence pays for Democrats, launching a three-day fundraising trip on Monday in which he will touch nearly every region of the nation and play up his economic agenda.

Obama will spend the heart of his Monday in Wisconsin, raising money for gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett and other Wisconsin Democrats. Barrett was an early supporter of Obama’s once long-shot White House bid.

He will cap his day at a glitzy fundraiser in Los Angeles for congressional Democratic candidates.

Barack Obama will not rest until the damage caused by the oil spill has been repaired. Barack Obama will not rest until Americans are back at work. Barack Obama will not rest until the deficit is reduced. Barack Obama will not rest until our schools have been reformed. Barack Obama will not rest until consumers are protected. Barack Obama will not rest until we have protected our environment.

You know, unless there’s a liberal Democrats somewhere who needs campaign cash. Then there’s plenty of time to take his eye off the ball.
