This morning, the President spoke at the Northern Virginia Community College and empahsized the importance of training for preparing our workforce to work in manufacturing. While it seems a bit odd that the President will speak here, this is the same College where Jill Biden teaches. Mr. Obama was to be joined by 10 manufacturing related executives whose political affiliations are split nearly 50% Democratic and 50% Republican.

Perhaps the most influential in Democratic Fund-raising was Penny Pritzker, Chairman and CEO of the Pritzker Realty Group. She, and her family, are the same that invited the President to speak at a recent Architectural award ceremony which she sponsors. I wonder if she golfs because it looks like they spend a lot of time together.

This afternoon the President will deliver remarks a a sporting event honoring Auburn University's 2010 BCS National Championship.

At the end of the day, he will meet with the President of Nigeria.
