I've heard a GOP pundits on the news complain obama is going to fundraisers twice in the last two

days. This must be a new GOP meme. Criticize Obama for going to fundraisers he has to go to if he wants to be in the running. Romney doesn't have to go to fundraisers because of all the Superpac money. So if Obama goes and it is reported it he is "attending fundraisers in this time that people are suffering economic strife", it seems like Obama doesn't care that people are suffering when in fact 'attending a fundraiser' and 'people are suffering' have nothing to do with each other. If he doesn't go he doesn't raise money. Classic Sophie's Choice put forth by the GOP.

President Obama does much more in a day than just a fundraiser.

He can walk and chew gum at the same time

Here's something Obama did today that will put a smile on everyone's face: http://www.democraticunderground.com/101734258

didn't criticize George W Moran when he went to fundraisers instead of taking care of business after Katrina.
