O'Biden gets to travel too

After meeting with a bipartisan group of 14 Mayors yesterday, consisting of 1 Independent, 2 Republicans, and 11 Democrats, the President will spend a little time today being briefed, meeting with senior advisers, and then Geithner and Gates. The scheduled time for these meetings will be less than 3 hours. The remainder of the day is undocumented.

However, we find that the Vice President is being treated to a Fundraising trip to Chicago this afternoon. The official reason for the taxpayer write off will be his keynote address at the CURE 2011 Annual Chicago Event. However, CURE is an organization founded by David and Susan Axelrod. Mr. Axelrod is Obama's top reelection aide, so we are sure this event will be filled with important democratic contributers.

Since he is in town, Mr. Biden will first attend a DNC fundraising event to help reach the $1 billion reelection goal. Hmmm, we pay, they play.

Oh, if you are looking for a job, Obama for America is looking for State Data Directors.
