The Fundraiser-In-Chief's work is not done

[DowningRules]

Fundraiser-In-Chief will be in Santa Monica today for a DNC fundraiser.  Good time for a getaway.

 

Allah be praised I don't live in his fundraising territory any more. 

 

For those of you that live or work in West LA, the FIC will arrive this morning.  Roads near San Vicente west of the 405 will be shut down from 1-3pm.  The good news is, it's Friday, so traffic should be light.

 

Not sure how he's getting to Palm Springs.  Hopefully he's using Santa Monica airport for a helicopter ride and will be staying off the 405 to LAX that time of day.

 

These jaunts could pay for a lot of health insurance for some of us who've had our rates raised.

He's flying into Thermal to get to Palm Springs.

 

I moved out to the desert to escape from him, dangit!

[TobiasFunke]

It would be a Southern California trip without DR posting about it

[Blarg]

We got a warning interoffice email and I am taking the day off simply because everything around my office would be shut down.

[Taylor]

The President has given you a day off from work!

 

Thanks Obama!

[Blarg]

Without pay.

So glad I don't live in West L.A. anymore.

[DowningRules]

Without pay.

 

So, you're the reason the unemployment rate ticked up.

Someone forgot to put his speech on the podium this morning in San Jose and he was at a complete loss for words. It took a few moments for the speech to arrive.

I hadn't commented on the last couple Fundraiser In Chief visits.  Today's trip is on a Friday, however, so it seemed like a pretty good idea to let people know in case they're in the area.  Having lived in that section of West LA I know first hand it needs no help getting fouled up traffic-wise, especially on a Friday.  If I had to be there, or needed to get to LAX in the afternoon, it would want to know.  I was supposed to fly out of LAX at 4:30 today.  Luckily, the trip has been canceled.

Apparently they added a speech about how California should be the model for state health insurance exchanges or something like that, so it would be less obvious that the trip is for fundraising.

I laughed

[fan_since79]

He's going to meet the Chinese president out in Palm Springs on Friday and lecture him about cyberspying.

 

How's that for chutzpah!

Interestingly enough, the company I work for is backing out of CA individual exchanges because the cost is ridiculous.

Thank you Obama

[Amazing Larry]

Here he comes again!

Each time the Obamacare expert comes to LA, as often as he does, someone needs to link in Forrest Gump's "A-gain".

Today's LA/Hollywood adventure by the Fundraiser-In-Chief is strictly for fundraising purposes.  Magnificent.  While his administration and signature project are falling to pieces, the F-I-C determines that fundraising and hanging with Magic and other celebreties is more important. 

 

Never underestimate the power of celebrity and cash.

Today's LA/Hollywood adventure by the Fundraiser-In-Chief is strictly for fundraising purposes.

 

Like literally every single other time he's been here.

 

There may have been one hand he shook here in 2011 that didn't have a dollar bill attached to it.

[DowningRules]

Everything my brother, formerly of the US State Department, told me months ago about the F-I-C has rang true the last month:  head in the clouds, doesn't like taking anyone's advice/always 'right', does not like putting in the hours necessary to be President, likes the bling associated with the title, and typically passes the buck to underlings when there's a problem.

 

At the time, I thought what my brother (more liberal than conservative) said was a bit exagerated since he was so fed up with the State Department not heeding his advice and requests for help, etc..  Now, his description fits too well.

[Bruce Nye]

My brief assessment of this dork is this: He keeps saying "I didn't know" (Benghazi, NSA, IRS, AP, Obamacare) - can you imagine a CEO of a major company making that argument?  So, if he doesn't know he is incompetent.  A professional manager has to know.  If he does "know" and just lies, that is just as bad.  He's incompetent.

 

Sorry libs, you have backed a loser.

To be honest most of the S&L CEOs copped the same plea right before jumping out of that flaming wreck with a platinum parachute.

Barry's gonna be in my neighborhood tomorrow to give a speech at Dreamworks. I couldn't care less about trying to see/yell at him.

If you want to find the rich Dems to beg for their money you have to go to New York and California. Seems obvious to me.

They closed Santa Monica Blvd for 45 minutes last night.  At 5:45.

This frigging guy....
