Obama Hosts His 108th Fundraiser

Campaigner in chief.

The trip will mark his 108th fundraiser since announcing for reelection, a record.

The full day of campaigning and fundraising, coupled with the first lady's Monday campaign trip to New York, is the clearest signal yet the that the reelection campaign is on. But Carney said that the president isn't ducking his day job.

"The president of the United States is the president of the United States 24 hours a day, including when he calls foreign leaders in the very early hours of the morning, and on weekends, and on any given day of the week," Carney told reporters en route to Chicago. "I can assure you that his day will be full of the execution of his responsibilities as president, even as he is engaging in these campaign events."

Of course he is. And shame on you for thinking otherwise.
