Over the next two days, Obama travels to San Francisco and Seattle for both presidential and campaign events.”
“President Barack Obama will be tapping into Hollywood money in his first California fundraising trip since anti-piracy legislation backed by the film industry was scuttled in Congress,” Bloomberg writes. “Over the next three days Obama is seeking to raise more than $8 million for his re-election, the bulk of it coming from six fundraisers in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Corona Del Mar, California, including one event co-hosted by comedian Will Ferrell. He also plans to raise money in Washington state. Californians have given more to the president’s campaign than donors from any other state, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.”
“The White House on Tuesday threatened to veto a wide-ranging transportation package from House Republicans,” The Hill writes. “The administration raised concerns about a provision to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, and argued the legislation’s funding for roads and bridges is inadequate.” The transportation bill is also where the contraception amendment might be placed.

40. Obama proposes
Jobs Bill to help put Americans back to work.
Sure got a lot of "signed, visited,, convened, authorized, allowed, appointed, proposes or proposed (which still needs actions and NOT an accomplishment) and spokes" in that list. All of which were actions put before him. NOT his brainchildren but simply orchestrated by someone else that needed his okay. And you count a SCOTUS judge appointment as an accomplishment? I guess whatever increases your "feel good" count. LMAO.
Go through Mike's list and tell us which are not true. I'll give the the birther ones just to give you a couple. The rest are up to you. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
[Mickey, I have NEVER posted this list before! You lie!]
BAAAAAHWAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
What happened to obama's lawsuit against Wisconsin's new labor law? And what about the recall effort against Governor Walker? I heard that 72 people named Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck voted to recall him and a group calling themselves Walnut drove homeless people to the voting stations to register and vote in exchange for a coupon good at participating fast food restaurants owned by Geo. Soros....!
I wish we could recall our Gov. LePage. LePage and Walker aren't real governors for their states, they are puppets of the right-wing Heritage Center, methodically implementing the policies dictated by the Koch Brothers.
Walker and LePage: cutting spending on teachers and other public workers and passing the "savings" onto corporations and the wealthiest families. LePage is busy kicking elderly, sick and low income people off Medicare, while slashing the Oh, there's a "solution" for you. And to think Palin accused Democrats of creating "death panels."
850,000 signatures approved! good-bye walker and hello democracy!
Same to you Mark, your old worn out lies are not working anymore. It must be frustrating when all you've got is lies.
Trust me Mark, all of the Disney characters voted in that recall fraud! Obama's look a like Alfred E. Newman made sure his vote was logged in all of the Wisconsin voting stations! Don't underestimate the ability of Acorn... errr, Walnut!
Amy,
What you are saying is that the majority of voters in Maine and Wisconsin were to stupid and should not have been allowed to vote.
Your governor can not kick people off of Medicare because it is a federal program and the states have no say in it. Maybe Medicaid but not Medicare.
I don't know about LePage but I do know that Walker campaigned on taking on the cost of public unions and he won running on those positions.
Higher Taxes = Higher Costs
Higher Costs = Higher Prices or More Jobs Leaving The Country
Make sure to thank Mr. Obama when you vote in November.
The price of gas is killing the average American and Obama is pushing policies which will give us $5 a gallon prices very soon.
Make sure to thank Mr. Obama when you vote in November.
I will think President Obama in November AngryMobVoter for all the good things he has done for our country the last 4 years. I will also think him for not letting your lies and hate get in the way of a job well done.
There are a lot of angry voters this year! Many of them angry they voted for a mistake, a lie of hope and change! They are angry at themselves for thinking that a neophyte with dreams could actually make a difference. Obama made a difference all right, the country's worse off now than we were at the end of Bush's term!
Maybe you should have bought a car with better gas mileage, like Democrats have been begging the American people to do for the past two decades. But, no, Republicans don't think we have a right to affordable healthcare, but we do have a right to cheap gas. "Free market" my azz, Republicans want government to save them at the pump, rather than taking steps themselves to get off oil.
8 million dollars every time air-force one takes off and lands.
Not to mention all the support, secret service and party faviorites
WASTE
Wonder what he would have told Chrysler if they flew in their planes and spent that much....for nothing.?
Amazing the spin the RWNJ's put on anything President Obama does.
It really is time to put an end to these clowns being in office. If the GOP wins, it really will be the end of the USA as we know it. The GOP truly is out to demolish the middle class, and to have women/minorities/poor/disabled all die in the streets.
The USA as we know it now you mean. Heading further into a nanny state. We can only hope that someone, GOP or other wise, takes away his toys and gets us back on the right path.
All this conservative angst. Can't you tell that they feel it slipping away? The whole thing set up so nicely, and they can't field a canidate that could out-campaign a local yuck running for dogcatcher, much less a formitable incumbant. How embarassing. I will continue to watch the show, as the Repubs treat each other to golden showers of abuse!
