Fundraiser in Chief!

[Patranus]

When it comes to making appearances at political fundraisers, President Obama apparently can't say no -- especially when compared to his two predecessors.

Just nine months into his presidency, Obama has appeared at 23 Democratic fundraisers, including the two he attended Tuesday night, according to Mark Knoller of CBS News, who keeps a detailed log of presidential activities.

By comparison, George W. Bush attended six political fundraisers and Bill Clinton went to five during their first year in office

Doesn't he have a job to do?
I wonder how much Obama appearing at all of these fundraisers for the DNC is costing the taxpayer?
Air Force One alone runs $65,000/hour....

Funny you weren't bitching how much Air Force One costs to run when GWB was flying back and forth to Crawford every other day. Not to mention the fact that he was actually TAKING VACATION most of the time he was down there.

Fucking whiny ass republicans.

Damn, first response was Buh Buh Bush..

But...but...but...BOOOOSH

You fail to realize that
He worked from Crawford
WASN'T RAISING MONEY FOR A POLITICAL PARTY ON THE TAXPAYER DIME

..... I don't see a story here. Obama just plays differently. All Presidents waste money in their own ways.

Clear dat brush

Maybe that is the difference, Obama is somewhat of a democratic superstar and GWB was a GOP dud they sent back to Crawford.
And instead the GOP raised funds with the likes of darth Cheney, Kindaslezze Rice, and the ever popular Dumsfeld. The GOP bunch cost more to fly around, they told more lies while they were at it, but who wants to listen to dyslexic George butcher the English language?

When you have it, you flaunt it, when you don't have it, you do what the GOP does, baffle them with bullshit and teabags.

How many states are there?

Its funny how the media played up GWB when he mis-spoke but when the glorious Barak Obama does it, it is ignored.

But that is off the topic...or is it

Probably because, when GWB misspoke, he looked like an Idiot.

What exactly has Obama been busy at? Attacking Fox News? Not making a decision on troop levels in Afghanistan? Not closing Gitmo? Not doing anything for energy independence? Not lowering the decifit? Not doing anything about the imploding value of the dollar?

But seriously, what exactly has he accomplished other than the sham of the Nobel Peace Prize?

When Obama does it, its the teleprompters fault. Or Fox News.

Of course it was, there's no excuse for being a superstar and pissing away taxpayer money when the country is crumbling so deflection is the proper tool for the tools.

So is this is the 'Hope', the 'Change' or the 'Yes we can!'?

Ya, Obama doesn't make himself look like an idiot....

Pushing health care legislation, allowing stem cell research, closing guantanamo, withdrawing from Iraq....

Name 4 good things Bush did in 8 years.

PUSHING healthcare legislation.. Not passing it? Closing Gitmo? Umm.. Fail. Stem Cell Research? Was allowed under Bush, just not federally funded. Withdrawing from Iraq? Huh? We're still there, and he's following Bush's timeline.

Try again.
