Obama has held more fund raisers to date than the last 5 presidents combined.

Doherty, who has compiled statistics about presidential travel and fundraising going back to President Jimmy Carter in 1977, found that Obama had held 104 fundraisers by March 6th this year, compared to 94 held by Presidents Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Snr, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush combined.

Since then, Obama has held another 20 fundraisers, bringing his total to 124. Carter held four re-election fundraisers in the 1980 campaign, Reagan zero in 1984, Bush Snr 19 in 1992, Clinton 14 in 1996 and Bush Jnr 57 in 2004.
Doherty, a political science professor at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, has also analysed presidential travel to battleground or swing states, which change and fluctuate in number with each election cycle.

In their first years in office, Carter visited eight out of 18 battleground states and Reagan seven out of 17. Bush Snr, Clinton and Bush Jnr all visited around three-quarters of battleground states while Obama went to all 15 within his first 12 months.
While the Obama’s campaign activities in office have been largely in line with historical trends, he is especially vulnerable to criticism because in 2008 he promised to change how politics works and to curb links with special interests.

I guess what he actually meant when he said he would change things is that he thinks it is more important for a president to get reelected than it is for him to do his job.
 
obama hasn't functioned as president for a long time. I'm surprised that no other country has taken advantage of our being leaderless yet.

He's been on perpetual campaign mode since he was immacculated January 2009.

He hates the JOB...but loves the perks.

Note that 'Hope and Change' of 2008 has now become "FOWARD" for 2012.

The word 'FOWARD' is one used by all Communists/Marxists/Socialists worldwide.

It expresses thier intent. Mao used it, Marx used it. Stalin used it as did many other notable tyrants through history.
 
Heck, it's the parties he enjoys!! So much better than sitting in the boring Oval Office. I'll fund raise for the parties if he'll just move out of the White House. :)
 
hey he has a right to campaign till his heart is content. I don't have to much trouble with that, but, its has a spill over effect, to wit; this will be the 3rd full year we have not had a budget, because Harry Reid not wishing to harm his own majority chances in the senate AND not wanting to expose Obama to an embarrassing vote and exposure for/to the globs of money that has and will motivate folks who are fed up with deficits means we just run without one.And the media is willfully asleep. 3 years? Seriously? come on.....

And that's fine...is Obama going to reimburse the taxpayers for the questionable 'Offical Stops'?

I wouldn't mind half as much, if he paid for the trips. Strangely enough, he managed to figure out a way to tie every single campaign trip to an "official" duty.

Doherty, a political science professor at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, has also analysed presidential travel to battleground or swing states, which change and fluctuate in number with each election cycle.

In their first years in office, Carter visited eight out of 18 battleground states and Reagan seven out of 17. Bush Snr, Clinton and Bush Jnr all visited around three-quarters of battleground states while Obama went to all 15 within his first 12 months.

Or he could, just a thought, be a president for a while.

The ONLY thing transparent about OBAMA is that HE is a professional shit disturber..Community Organizer is his ONLY claim to fame.

He didn't deserve to be POTUS.

Obama doesn't WANT the WORK that goes with the JOB...he only enjoys the perks...

And his campaign is about convincing the American people to keep it.

Obama is a piece of human debris that should have NEVER been elected.
