In wake of jobs disaster, Obama departs for six fundraisers

In wake of jobs disaster, Obama departs for six fundraisers. “A mere hour after the catastrophic unemployment report came in, the failed president hopped aboard Air Force One at your expense to attend a mind-numbing six fundraisers.” One whose ticket price is $50K a head. Hey, he’s gotta get some of that loot before it all disappears into mattresses thanks to the booming recovery he’s led us into.

  • Of course "Dear leader" went on another taxpayer funded fund raising tour. When you don't have a clue about what to do, and you're too lazy to try and just don't care, what is the first thing most people do? You leave of course!!!

  • And that big black bus will probably follow him everywhere he goes, also at our expense. Barry, at best you are a rock star wannabe.

  • Reflecting more on this subject, this guy has done so many of these fundraisers for so long I am beginning to think it is not only about the money. It is also I think a form of escape for him. Why stay in DC and be confronted with problems not of your making (well, at least in his mind) that seem to have no easy/quick solution? Why be in DC to hear pols constantly denigrating your greatness? Why deal with that? Instead, hit the road and use your "gift" to dazzle dummies into coughing up big bucks. BS the crowds so they adore you. Yeah, I really think these fundraisers feed the ego for O and thus the perpetual campaign.

  • $50K a head

    When only 6 people show up for this one, including Obungles, it's not going to be filling his campaign coffers.

  • Unemployment up again? Bush's fault. Nothing to do with O or his magnificent policies. So hey, sure, fundraisers, golfing, hoops - no problem.

  • If only he cared as much about the people of America as he does about growing government and getting re-elected.

    • Based on some of the older headlines and stories we've seen, it appears he has negotiated a great deal based on his "freedom to act" after being re elected for a 2nd term. He likely has a sword of Damocles or two hanging over his head if he ISN'T re elected.

  • Even Obama's fund raising junkets are falling short. Apparently most people (even some Democrats) are realizing that Barry is a disaster for this nation.
