Day Two in London
Image by Getty Images via @daylifeAccording to the radio news reporting, the President required 150 to 200 rooms in Buckingham Palace to house all of those traveling with him. That means that between 150 and 400 people accompanied the President from the U.S. to Europe. We don't know if the President has to pay for his rooms in London, but if each room costs $200 per night, we can expect hotel bills to range between $30,000 to $80,000 per night. This doesn't include other travel related expenditures such as food, drinks, local transportation, airfare, tips, security, etc.

Welcome
Welcome to the Traveling Fundraiser.
The purpose of this blog is to chronicle the travels of the President as he crisscrosses the country in pursuit of campaign funds for the 2012 election.
Now that the election season has informally begun, read as our stellar fundraiser flies from his home in Washington DC to the various cities in the United States and other countries. Air Force One has never been busier, so sit back, and buckle your seat belt.
Once we complete dressing up our blog and checking our equipment, we'll prepare for takeoff.
