While the Defense Secretary is dealing with Islamic State terrorists and holding press conferences on the subject, President Obama is galavanting in California making Democratic fundraiser appearances and cavorting with Ellen Degeneres for an upcoming “Ellen” show.
“Saturday Night Live” alumnus David Spade recently criticized the Obamas lack dignity in their entertainment jaunts, but his suggestion appears to have fallen on deaf ears.
CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reported:
Mostly a fundraising day for Pres Obama in CA. Three for the DNC and one for the @dscc.ALso tapes appearance today on @TheEllenShow.

Meanwhile, someone decidedly more presidential was taking care of business.

People were neither surprised nor happy with the news.
@markknoller @DanaBordeaux @dscc @TheEllenShow I suppose taxpayers get to pay for this jaunt too.

@markknoller What is the trivial “official event” that he used to bootstrap this fundraising trip into a taxpayer-funded one?

@markknoller @dscc @TheEllenShow you forgot golf, the man can’t go 2 days without it, he should be helping us on our insurance but noooooo.

Knoller was also kind enough to give us a few statistics, which resulted in further outrage.
Today’s Dem fundraisers are the first for Pres Obama in 2016. He did 35 fundraisers last year and 459 fundraisers since taking office.

@PostmasterBen Wonder how many Cabinet meetings he has held, you know, so he could get updates on his administration. @markknoller

@markknoller Some job! Say a few words. Eat and drink with the wealthy. Order your minions to destroy the country. Make millions.

@markknoller how many rounds of golf?
— DeathToTyranny (@PostmasterBen) February 11, 2016
But one person found a bright spot in all of this.
@markknoller Great! He lost House and Senate and Probably next POTUS! Let him continue!
