WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama takes his first stab Wednesday night at the role of fundraiser in chief.

The president is the main attraction at two events in the nation's capital for the Democratic National Committee, making for the first fundraising test for Obama since he took over the presidency two months ago.

By now Bush - and even Clinton, for crying out loud - would have been in contact with North Dakota to offer help, make plans to fly over and/or stop at the affected areas and let the people and press know they are concerned.

Has anyone heard Obama make any mention of this? I'm afraid when he ever does, it will be to take the opportunity to create some trillion dollar stimulus package for the sandbag industry.

Bill Clinton attended, at least, one fundraiser every day of his eight-year presidency. The public was never informed and the press protected him just like they will Obama.

In the future he will send his domestic army of mandatory “volunteers” to do this. It is too menial for him.

Typical Obama. Taking the attention off of the people who need concrete help right now and turning it into a sales pitch for one of HIS pet “this is why we must increase government control of the serfs” projects.

I am. Even made my tagline easier to change when O racks up more.

In the future he will send his domestic army of mandatory brown shirt “volunteers” to do this. It is too menial for him and his charming wife.

He is to busy socializing the country and campaigning to care about what is going on with the flooding and tornados.

I just saw on CNN where the levy broke - is that now obamas fault just as when the New Orleans levy broke was Bush’s?

This will also be Bush’s fault. Why in the world would you watch CNN?

All he has to do is go to ND spread his arms and order the waters to recede. What is the big deal?
