Report: Obama To Attend Dem Fundraiser In Texas Same Day As Fort Hood Memorial
http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/04/08/report-obama-to-attend-dem-fundraiser-in-texas-same-day-as-fort-hood-memorial/

It's an AP article.

So here are some selected comments.

Every you think this guy can't stoop any lower....he does. what a classless piece of trash!

How convenient, we get to pay for his fundraising jaunt, and at the same time he excoriates us about guns and why "we" shouldn't have them. What part of its an Army base, and weapons are a way of life doesn't this narcissist get. Texas, beware evil is about to descend among you.

Notice the pattern? Morning after Benghazi, off to a gala Vegas fundraiser. "Superstorm Sandy" hug-fest with Christie, then off to a fundraiser. Fort Hood shooting memorial cameo with some fake tears, then off to a fundraiser. Fundamental transformation, malignant narcissism.

To be fair, I am sure the last 5 Presidents have done the same thing.   If they are going to a city, no matter the reason, they are pretty much going to have a fundraiser.

That is the problem.  The job of the President is to run the Country for all people regardless of which political party they identify with, not make side detours on our dime to raise money for his political party.
Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

That may be true. But how many have done it so often when death is their reason for traveling?

That is what I am thinking too. I do not get why the President of any administration would travel for fund raising.
