Jeff Rosenzweig: Stormy Monday, 11/25/13
After a week that included both the exercise of Harry Reid’s nuclear capability and an interim agreement to curtail the nuclear capability of Iran, Republicans and their media henchjerks are left with continuing to bleat about healthcare.gov while the President heads to the West Coast for some heavy-duty fundraising and speechmaking.
Following Sunday fundraisers in Seattle and Medina, today finds him in San Francisco, where he resumes his quest to shame House Republicans into taking action on comprehensive immigration reform, five months after a version was approved by the Senate.
Tomorrow, he’s set to deliver a speech on the economy during a visit to Dreamworks Animation in Glendale, where he’ll discuss job creation in the entertainment industry; a major problem with that job creation will be highlighted by a simultaneous rally at nearby Griffith Manor Park, where visual effects artists will protest offshoring.
While in California, the President will also attend Democratic fundraisers at the homes of Magic Johnson, writer/producer Marta Kaufmann, and producer/media mogul Haim Saban. You can attend all three events for as little as $51,100, but that meager outlay will probably land you at the kiddies’ tables. Maybe opt instead for pricier seats and hope you can make up the difference with Black Friday savings...
