CBS News’ Mark Knoller reports that President Obama will take a brief break from fundraising in California Friday in order to designate 346,000 acres of the San Gabriel Mountains as a national monument.
@markknoller A national monument to Obama in the San Gabriel Mountains?

Possibly. Hey, wouldn’t this official action make at least part of this trip reimbursable by taxpayers?
@markknoller @mrzmazz .His lame excuse to charge this fundraising trip off as official business.

@markknoller Now taxpayers can pay for all expenses since he is going to visit national park. DNC shld pay for his fundraising expenses

That fact doesn’t seem to have slipped past Knoller, either.
The monument designation is political outreach to conservationists and also offsets some of the DNC's political costs of his trip.
