In this all important time, with so many issues facing America, you know you can count on your President to fundraise! And of course he will visit during rush hour traffic which will cause a traffic nightmare! Maybe if the Twisters hit New orleans or another "Minority" area then Obama would be there. But so far they are destroying Texas and other Red States. So, who cares when you have money to raise to try to be re-elected and further Socialize our Republic! He is visiting New York for the 3rd time in a month to squeeze as much money from the over-taxed Fat Cats who want to help fund their Dear Leader.
President Obama returning to NYC Wednesday for third time in less than a month
Brace yourself, New York City!
President Obama is returning Wednesday for his third visit in less than a month, bringing the increasingly familiar swirl of traffic - and buckraking - that surrounds presidential campaigns.
Obama will schmooze with fat cats at a high-dollar fund-raiser at the Waldorf-Astoria, mingle with guests at the home of Sharon Elghanayan, a psychotherapist who married former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine last fall, and then address fans at a Roots concert at Town Hall.
The President formally launched his 2012 reelection bid this month and is signaling that New York is a place he'll visit early and often.
"[New York] is where the money is and where the media is," said Ken Sherrill, a political science professor at Hunter College. "It's very efficient to campaign here because it resonates nationally, particularly with his base."
The city is also a bottomless political piggy bank for many candidates, including Obama, who raised $42 million from New Yorkers in 2008.
Building on a swank Harlem fund-raiser he held here last month that raised a cool $1.5 million for his party, the President plans to mingle with big donors tonight, first at the fund-raiser in a private Fifth Ave. home.
Then he'll grip-and-grin at the gala on the Waldorf's Starlight Roof. The fete is hosted by Gov. Cuomo and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, according to a copy of the invitation obtained by the Daily News.
Donors must pony up at least $2,500, with $5,000 buying premium seating and $10,000 buying a "photo reception." In exchange for raising $100,000, donors get a shoutout from the podium, a VIP reception and a listing in the dinner program.
Later, Obama will speak to the shallower-pocketed masses at Town Hall, a midtown performance venue, with ticket prices starting at $44 - a reference to Obama's status as the nation's 44th President.
Hopefully the President will decide to just live in NY and leave the rest of the Country alone! Now that's the All Right Idea!
