President has no plans to visit border while fundraising in Texas

President Obama must be watching the news lately if he has “a good sense” of what’s going on along the U.S.-Mexico border — a good enough sense that he doesn’t have to see it for himself. CBS’ Mark Knoller notes that the president won’t be visiting the border next week while fundraising in Texas.

No plans for Pres Obama to visit the US-Mexico border next week while in Texas for 3 Dem fundraisers and a speech on the economy.

WH/@PressSec says some POTUS critics playing politics with whether or not he visits the border next week.

Imagine that.

@markknoller Pretty much tells us where his priorities lie.

@markknoller
Very smart on his part. Doesn't want to be within range of any Fast & Furious guns.

@markknoller he needs to, but then again, he's always been a coward

@markknoller @PressSec everything Obama does is political. . I can't believe he's not going. It's out of control and he looks clueless.
