Obama is taking a tour of the Everett Boeing plant now (11:20am), then a speech, and then heading to the lunch in Medina, then on to a fundraiser at the Bellevue Hilton.

I was telling my daughter this would be a good topic for her history class where they will have debates on topics. Should presidents be allowed to use their official capacities and all that goes with it (planes, choppers, security, etc.) to do fund raising? I imagine that only gets brought up in the media though when it is a Republican.

I suppose the security is a must, and all the other stuff is needed to support the security, so I suppose one couldn't just hop in a rental car. So then just say no fundraisers where he personally goes. I am glad to see that he is showing all of the 99 percenters in Medina his support however.

Would have been far cheaper to fly all the donors to DC and put them up in top hotels.
