POTUS's schedule for Friday, March 16, 2012

It's all about fundraising today to finish up a busy week. President Obama heads to Chicago and Atlanta today to attend five fundraisers. He's set to take in at least $5 million for his re-election campaign today. The two fundraisers in Chicago will be at the Palmer House Hilton hotel with about 660 people in attendance between the two events. He then heads to Atlanta where he has three events- two of which are hosted by actor and director Tyler Perry. One of those is at Perry's home and the other is a large rally where R&B star CeeLo Green will perform. He'll return to the White House in the wee hours of the night.

      Where are the Bernstein's and Woodward's of 2012 ???

      Seeking 'TRUTH', used to be the admirable objective of the media.
      Unfortunately, today, journalists have become biased, lying scoundrels.
      Why wasn't Obama vetted ?
      Why do today's main stream media tell half truths, and outright lies ?
      The fourth estate used to be the objective, last bastion of truth.
      They used to be the one place where the public could escape corruption, and
      expect honesty and integrity.
      Unfortunately, journalism has sold out.
      What a travesty ... what a pity !!!

    Relevant Script from SP: "I wanna show you what I've been workin' on. [Kenny follows him in. Cartman shows him all the stuff he purchased – a jet ski, a Room-bot, a 7.1 speaker system, a plasma TV, an LCD monitor, a VHS/DVD combo player] Check it out. I thought I could just give all my money away and be as poor as your family, but then I realized: what do poor people do? Buy things even though they don't have money by going out and purchasing things that are 0% down and no payments for two years! That's how you people stay poor forever! Am I right? That's it, right?..." Our government...

    Vote Dr. Ron Paul.

      THANKS TO STUPID, GULLIBLE, AND CORRUPT CONTRIBUTORS TO OBAMA ...
      along with an unwavering complicit mainstream media ... Obama is able to get away with anything.
      For America's sake, hopefully, Obama will not get away with buying a reelection.
      CORRUPTION = When a man, like obama, uses the power of the state, to confiscate other people's hard earned money, squanders it, and finances loser companies, in exchange for political contributions, in an effort to get himself reelected.
