This from Mike Shields, RNC Chief of Staff:

Another week of the Obama presidency, and another vacation and political fundraiser — this time in Martha's Vineyard.

Since taking office, President Obama has hosted 400 fundraising events. That’s an average of one fundraiser every 5 days. In just six years, Obama has held 72 more fundraisers than George W. Bush hosted in all 8 years as President.

In his first term alone, Obama set the record for attending more fundraisers than any other President in modern history.

We know this Fundraiser-in-Chief prefers hobnobbing with the Hollywood Elite, Liberal Establishment and billionaire environmentalists more than actually doing the job he was elected to do.

But with all that is going on at home and abroad right now, the last thing the President should be doing is fundraising.

Now is a time for leadership. And under President Obama, it’s sorely missing.

There are crisis occurring around the world — and a humanitarian crisis on our own U.S.-Mexico border. There’s the IRS targeting and cover-up scandal. And there’s the ObamaCare plan debacle — with another one on the horizon.

Obama was elected to be the Commander-in-Chief — not the Fundraiser-in-Chief.

Community Organizers, Organize. They are not Leaders. They do not have the integrity, nor the intelligence for leading. Somehow, this seems to be lost on the right.

Perhaps if our e*******l process had not turned into a "he who has the most money wins", we wouldn't even have the problem to start with?

It did not suddenly "turn into" anything. It is a was always been that way. It started getting worse, when we started having "Career Politicians", they are what changed.

What happened is that integrity, in this country has all but disappeared. In order to function in WDC, you either have to be crooked or intellectually challenged.

Either way you are influenced by the elite and therefore not interested in representing those who elected you.
