The U.S. Secretary of Defense is in Belgium holding meetings with anti-ISIS coalition partners.
With that totally under control, President Obama is doing his thing today:
Mostly a fundraising day for Pres Obama in CA. Three for the DNC and one for the @dscc.ALso tapes appearance today on @TheEllenShow.

Today's Dem fundraisers are the first for Pres Obama in 2016. He did 35 fundraisers last year and 459 fundraisers since taking office.

The @dscc fundraiser is closed to press coverage, the 3 DNC events are pen & pad only, no cameras, no TV, no recordings.

Of last year's 35 Obama fundraisers: 19 were closed to press coverage, 11 were pen & pad for remarks but not Q&A; 5 were open to TV.

Maybe the historic levels of transparency will keep ISIS contained.
Transparent as mud. https://t.co/ShDr3UY2Bb

@markknoller Closed & private is the new open & transparent.

@markknoller What is the trivial "official event" that he used to bootstrap this fundraising trip into a taxpayer-funded one?

Fundraising is really cutting into Obama's golf schedule. https://t.co/XJ3yS5NEL5

Maybe he’ll find time to squeeze in 18 while in California.
