Obama Coming To NYC For Dem Fundraisers

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — President Barack Obama is bolstering his party’s campaign coffers, joining an ally of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to help the Democratic National Committee climb out of a worrisome deficit.

Obama is traveling to New York City Tuesday to raise money for the party at two events, including a high-dollar fundraiser at the home of Alan Patricof, the founder of a New York venture capital fund.

Patricof is a longtime Clinton friend and financial bundler for her Senate and presidential campaigns.

The president’s visit means there will be frozen zones throughout the city for his motorcade.
