So of course, the Executive Anus IS going ..... he has a fundraiser in Seattle so why not swing by against the express wishes of almost everybody?

Obama will go to Roseburg Friday to meet with families of Umpqua shooting victims

And stick the town of Roseburg with huge security costs

The entire police force should take a sick day

The airport managers too
I know an airport manager who did this to avoid servicing Clinton

His Exalted Majesty King Fubo will always find a way to combine a political trip with a "people's business" trip. That way, he can dump the majority of the cost onto the taxpayer, and the party gets a free ride.

The answer probably lies within your comment.

A politician's travel expenses for a fundraiser are normally footed by the people raising the funds.

If he's going to Oregon on official business (like attending funerals and such) then the taxpayer foots the travel bill.

This way, he saves the fundraiser a lot of money, I'd wager a million or more, because AF1, his security entourage, lodging bills, etc are picked up by the US Govt instead of the fundraiser.
