Yesterday: Obama Chastises Congress’ Work Ethic, “You Need To Be Here” — Today: Obama Bolts Town For Two Fundraisers…
Hypocrisy, thy name is Barack Obama.
(CNN) — President Obama will head to Philadelphia for two events organized by the Democratic National Committee Thursday, the same day the first major and closely-watched fundraising quarter of the 2012 presidential campaign cycle draws to a close.
The president, joined by Reps Bob Brady and Chaka Fattah and Mayor Michael Nutter, will deliver remarks at a fundraising bash at The Bellevue Hyatt in the afternoon. Ticket prices started at $100 according to two Democratic officials.
The officials said he will then attend a fundraising dinner at the home of Rhonda and David L. Cohen, tickets for which started at $10,000. DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania will attend the evening event.
On a DNC conference call Thursday, former Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania said he thinks the events will raise $2.5 million to benefit the Obama Victory Fund, a joint account between the DNC and OVF.
The president’s trip caps off a busy fundraising schedule over the last month as both the Obama campaign and the DNC hope to report monster numbers as the 2012 reelection effort officially gears up. Less than a week ago, Obama hit three back-to-back fundraisers in New York City, including a $35,800-a-plate dinner at an Upper East Side restaurant. He was also the main attraction at two fundraisers at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the nation’s capital 10 days ago.
From yesterday:
“We are going to need to start having to cancel things and stay here until we get it done,” the president said.
“They’re in one week, out one week, then saying ‘Obama’s got to step in.’ You need to be here. You stay here, let’s get it done.”

What the HELL is that below his lower lip?? It looks to be getting more prominent as time goes on. Is it an implant?
Good question! The more he pouts the bigger it gets. By the time he’s voted out it ought to be dragging on the ground.
I really detest this turd.
The Trickster … Brer Barack
The vandalism inflicted by this dick and his thugs will escalate as the election draws near. The Republicans should be investigating, supoena-ing, and otherwise paralyzing this regime. Every move being made by these punks are illegal in some form or another.
No balls.
Is it just me or is the anger towards this man reaching a boiling point?
I think the minute he lands on the vineyard the shit may hit the fan, people are sick of the hypocrisy
I should be clear by now the when Barry says “we” he means “you”.
His abundant use of the singular personal pronouns of “I” and “me” (most often used when taking credit for something he had only tenuous attachment with) will let you know he means himself.
Oh, but Obozo has learned that “leaders can’t delegate.”
Da One’s fundraising is SOOOO much more important than the economy, gathering clouds of war, national security, etc, etc, etc. How dare we think he should be in his office WORKING!
Why can’t this SOB and his wife be brought up on charges of misappropriation of government funds, malfeasance or something for heavens sake?
My Dad used to tell me something like……..
“Don’t do as I do, do as I say.”
I hated that $hit from my Dad…….
and zer0 saying the same $hit……
JUST BURNS MY A$$.
Hell 2 hours later he had the WNBA champs at the WH.
I’m surprised he took the time yesterday to have that presser-that sorry ass excuse for a presser.
Actually I am surprised he gets his lazy butt to the fundraisers. They have to involve some sort of work on his part…
I’m sure this will be the lead story on all of the MSM news cast tonight.
Shooting bobbing obstacles in the ocean from a helicopter has to be a hoot.
oops.wrong post.
still something to ponder
He really struggled through his “I’m here..” comments. Clearly it was a teleprompter-free moment. What struck me was the emphasis “he” put on “his” personal involvement in Afghanistan, OBL, and the Greek situation.
But he’s got the endrsement he wanted most:
Communists to Back Obama and Democrats in 2012
http://trevorloudon.com/2011/06/communists-to-back-obama-and-democrats-in-2012/
excerpt:
“The Communist Party USA, while on occasion working to build third party efforts, has since the 1930s, consistently supported and infiltrated the Democratic Party.
In a column in today’s Peoples World, Communist Party national Secretary Sam Webb, lays out the reasons why his Party, despite some “disappointments”, will continue to support their “friend” Barack Obama and the Democrats in 2012.”
Laziest em effer to sully the office.
Halperin was and is correct.
You’re so funny Grizz!
@ Phila PA…and it’s the top of the ninth down the street…
Phillies 0 / BoSox 5 …. nightmare traffic should get him some votes…
“What the HELL is that below his lower lip?? It looks to be getting more prominent as time goes on. Is it an implant?”
LOL, an implant? Why yes it is. A transmitter from Soros telling him what he needs to say and do.
P.O.S POTUS……………need to get him out of the W.H. while it’s still standing. He’ll have it looking like it’s on some street in Detroit by the time he’s done with it. Based on the company he invites there, we may need to call the British in to burn the damned thing to the ground again. Probably the only way we’ll get it clean again is to rebuild. Just like the country. God protect us all.
He just flat can’t see the irony of the stupid crap he says. Delusions of something.
L’audace l’audace
Toujours l’audace.
Yep…he’s a DICK!
O criticizing anyone else about work ethic is really funny! Do you have to be present to vote “present”?? Not sure.
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and fellow humans.
WTF is the asshole flying AF One around the country for with no necessity or state business to attend to, he acts like it is simply driving his personal vehicle to the corner store for a 6 pack. Does this idiot not know every time he fires up AF1 it cost hundreds of thousands in just flying cost nto to mention the advance security etc…furkin idiot thinks he’s king and our taxes serve his every whim…can’t wait for 2012 this jackass needs to go now.
derelection of duty or something…
He’s being paid to run the nation not campaign on our dime, why is it legal for him to use our money to campaign for the next election?
They’re probably all glad not to have to go home…none of them wants to spend Independence Day in their hometowns. They may be facing a very angry constituency. I’ve heard there may be some problems around the country over the holidays. The commies may be causing trouble.
I won’t be going to any large public functions. Who knows who might be there and willing to create havoc. Lefties would love to have martial law enacted on the 4th of July to ruin it for constitutional Americans.
This guy… he’s useless,enough said.
Dipping snuff there Barry?
