Obama has been doing a lot of travel lately.



  • Has he been traveling to meet with Netanyahu in Israel?  No.  
  • as he been traveling to meet with those affected by the devastating storms from this Summer?  No.  
  • Has he been traveling to meet with those affected by the devastating wildfires from this Summer?  No. 
  • Has he been meeting with his Jobs Council?  No.  
  • Has he been meeting with his Intelligence Community over the issues in the Middle-East?  Not likely.
The list goes on and on.

Instead, here is a taste of where Obama's priorities have taken him.




  • Fundraiser put on by Beyonce...






  • Visit to Letterman, snubbing Netanyahu...
"The president will chat with the “Late Show” host during a trip to New York City next week, according to the National Journal. Letterman’s nightly monologues mostly spare the president from satirical ribbing, saving his most cutting remarks for the Romneys … or even former President George W. Bush.The news comes on the same day Obama told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he couldn’t meet with him due to a scheduling conflict.The interview will be the second Obama has had with Letterman since the comic made a crude, demeaning jokeabout former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s daughter."source: http://pjmedia.com





  • President Barack Obama heads to George Clooney’s lavish Hollywood mansion Thursday evening for a fundraiser that is expected to bring in a whopping $14 million. Here’s POLITICO’s list of 10 celebrity-rich presidential candidate fundraisers.

"High-profile guests including Robert Downey Jr., Tobey Maguire, Barbra Streisand, director-producer J.J. Abrams, producer Nina Jacobson, Creative Artists Agency partner Bryan Lourd and ICM President Chris Silbermann are attending the dinner, which was organized by DreamWorks Animation Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg and his political advisor, Andy Spahn.But the Hollywood VIPs paying $40,000 a ticket will account for just over one-third of Obama's haul Thursday night; the rest is coming from members of the general public lured by an online contest that has astutely leveraged Clooney and Obama's joint star power. Tens of thousands of Americans have contributed donations averaging $23 each for a chance to win a ticket to the soiree. Two winners and their guests will attend the party, where the president is expected to discuss policy in the low-key environment of Clooney's canyon home over a dinner catered by Wolfgang Puck.Recognizing the dual appeal of Obama and Clooney, the campaign pitched the contest to potential contributors in emails with subjects like "Clooney and me," "A little fun" and "We'll take care of airfare." A random drawing narrowed the pool of finalists down to 50, and the campaign then planned to do background checks on those 50 before notifying the two winners, whose identities will be revealed Thursday."It's a stunning turnout of support, and what's really interesting to me is that almost two-thirds of the money is coming from grass-roots support, from the 99%," Katzenberg said. The full-ticket-price guests will come from a number of industries in Los Angeles, he said, including movies, TV, music, finance, law and healthcare.source: http://articles.latimes.com"source: http://www.politico.com

    • In his first term, President Obama has so far held 132 fundraising events, including two back to back Wednesday night at the tony W Hotel in Washington. More than a few conservative pundits have noted that the number of pocket-padding evenings eclipses more than the president’s five predecessors combined during their first terms.
    • President Obama will attend six fundraisers today in Maryland and Pennsylvania, a series of cash collection events that bring his total number of fundraisers held for his reelection bid up to 160, according to figures maintained by CBS News’ Mark Knoller.

    In a Politico op-ed earlier this year commemorating Obama’s 100th fundraiser since coming into office, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus wrote:
    On average, one can reasonably say attending a fundraiser takes two hours out of the president’s schedule. So, in total, the president has likely spent at least 200 hours, or five standard workweeks, filling his campaign coffers since April.

    • VACATIONS...
    The Obamas are together in Martha's Vineyard this week, spending 10 days soaking up the sun at Blue Heron Farm, a $20 million estate where they spent their past two summer vacations.As President Obama and his three favorite ladies cool their in heels in Massachusetts (much to the chagrin ofliberals and conservatives alike), we take a look at pastObama family vacations. Try not to be jealous of the first daughters' heavily marked-up passports.Vacation Destination: HawaiiWhen: Late December 2010 - early January 2011As has become tradition, the Obama family jetted off to Hawaii this winter to celebrate Christmas in Barack's birthplace. The first family stayed in a luxury beachfront property on the island of Oahu and snorkeled, dined andgolfed their way through two weeks.At left, Obama tours the Honolulu Zoo with Sasha, Malia and family friends on the last day of the family's vacation.
    Vacation Destination: Martha's Vineyard, Mass.When: Late August 2009The Obama family's first summer trip since moving into the White House was filled with golf games, bicycle rides and beach time (though Barack was careful not to getsnapped without a shirt this time). The Obamas, who hadstayed in the Martha's Vineyard enclave known as Oak Bluffs prior to their 2009 summer sojourn, aren't the only first family to vacation on the island: Bill Clinton and Ulysses S. Grant spent time in Martha's Vineyard back when they called 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. home.Vacation Destination: RussiaWhen: July 2009Michelle and Barack brought Sasha and Malia along when they visited Moscow back in 2009. The girls made a splash as thye walked through the Kremlin's halls in matching trench coats, but spent most of the trip withtheir grandmother, Marian Robinson. Though Obama was in Russia on official business, he did blow off Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for a family night. Obama told CNN that he enjoys having his girls with him because they are "able to see the world and then report back to us on what they are seeing."At left, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev greets the Obama family at the Kremlin.lessSOURCE FOR MORE OF HIS FAMILY'S LAVISH VACATIONS...http://powerwall.msnbc.msn.com
