Critics of President Obama have rightfully blasted him over his warped priorities. With everything that’s been happening, you’d think he’d show at least a little more interest in dealing with world affairs.
But alas, after giving brief, ineffectual remarks on the situation in Ukraine, Obama once again got set for a busy week — of fundraising, natch. But White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest would like to reassure us that POTUS has totally got things under control. No need to throw a wrench in his plans!
Pres Obama proceeding with 3 day Dem fundraising trip tomorrow and can do his job wherever he happens to be, says @PressSec.

Good to know. However:
But if developments warrant Pres Obama's return to the WH from his fundraising trip this week, "then we'll make a change," says @PressSec

It’d have to be one hell of a development! Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor dark of night nor international turmoil shall stay this president from the not-so-swift completion of his appointed fundraising rounds …
@markknoller @PressSec Obama is a JOKE! Fundraising is HIS top priority!

Obama's taking his pen and his phone to the fundraisers. Serious You Guys.

@markknoller @MarieA51494842 @PressSec Optics. The president doesn't understand the word.

@markknoller @PressSec This wouldn't be such a big deal if he EVER did his actual job of, you know, BEING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

@IBD_ECarson @instapundit @markknoller @PressSec Sadly true. He will be as engaged on the road as he would be at the White House: not very.

Mom used to tell me that. A lot. RT @ron_fournier: Because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should https://t.co/n3qt8eQFfc
