</style> <![endif]--> "President <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Obama</span> has just hosted his 100th fundraiser in less than a year, according to a count by the ever-vigilant <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Republican National Committee</span>, which has tracked the phenomenon across multiple news reports. The <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">committee</span> has done all the math to reveal that if <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Mr. Obama</span> spends an average of two hours at each event, that equals 200 hours — or “five work weeks”.<br />
<br />
The <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">committee</span> also notes certain events have not reached the 100 mark during the same time period, pointing out the president made 55 speeches on the economy, met 25 times with secretaries of defense <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Leon E. Panetta</span> or <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Robert M. Gates</span>, and held 22 meetings each with Treasury Secretary <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Timothy F. Geithner</span> and Secretary of State <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Hillary Rodham Clinton</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Mr. Obama</span> also held 11 town halls and five news conferences, delivered three speeches on energy and three on housing, and held two joint <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">White House</span> meetings with Congressional leaders of both parties. Oh, and there were zero meetings with the <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">anti-deficit super committee</span>.<br />
<br />
“While <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Obama</span> was out on his fundraising blitz, Americans suffered the consequences,” the <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">committee</span> proclaims in retrospect, adding that the unemployment rate has averaged 9.2 percent, and the national debt has increased by $1,194,586,498,473.80 since the president’s fundraising push began."<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Thursday evening at CPAC started with cocktails in the Virginia Suite followed by the Presidential Banquet. As an aside I got a brief moment to compliment Jerome Corsi on the work he did so well in revealing what a scumbag John Kerry is in “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0895260174/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=commsens05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0895260174">Unfit For Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=commsens05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0895260174" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" />.” </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Former Congressman Joe Scarborough was the master of ceremonies for the dinner and he did a very good job. He did receive some “boos” from the crowd when he was introduced but bulled through it well. I must admit that I generally only hear about Joe Scarborough when he says something stupid on MSNBC so I was pleasantly surprised at his rousing call to arms delivered just before his introduction of the Keynote Speaker Congressman Paul Ryan. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I couldn’t help but think as Ryan spoke that he might be one of the most important Members of the House of Representatives to stand before any crowd in our lifetime. He told us to be bold and cautioned us that we must provide a conservative plan and not just count on beating Obama with his failed presidency. He’s right – we can win this thing, but it’s going to take a lot of work and we have to send help to Ryan in the House and retake the Senate as well. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
