Obama was bemoaning the fact that the DNC would be charged for his travel expenses to the fundraiser. But thanks to all of those who died at Ft. Hood, the US taxpayer gets to pay those costs instead.
Never let a crisis go to waste.

I’ll say it again. We see tragedy, Obama sees opportunity.
Soulless.
Didn’t they have the LBJ library and civil rights anniversary as a backup? Actually paying for fundraising trips is waaay down the list.
Twice the amount of time on fund-raising than on the military to whom the First Lady purports to be devoted. Hypocrites.
An hour and a half with the troops, 3+ hours with his human ATM machines. Yep, that’s our Prezzy. Sigh.
What’s worse is that the troops will have been ordered to attend, most of whom would rather be somewhere else.
[…] The two will remain overnight in Houston and depart on Thursday. The Obamas’ full schedule is available here. […]
Once again Barack Obama disrespectfully seeks to fill the tin cup atop the graves.
Were these fundraisers scheduled after the Democrats realized FCMABBHO would have a free ride to Texas?
Obama = classless & disgraceful.
My prediction is that the next fundraiser will probably be in Boston-Aunt Zuniege, the aunt that was ordered deported but never left but instead lived in public housing at the cost of taxpayers for years, has died of cancer.

Local news story about the dear Aunt, we owe her don’t cha know?
YOU ARE EFFEN ME???!!!!
Sorry, but OMG this pisses me off.
Watching this very closely, wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Who is going to pay for her funeral? Will they try to have her buried in her native Kenya? Sickening people….
No time to visit the hospital? Even visit troops who weren’t wounded? There’s time before the memorial service, is it possible they will?
What’s the takeaway on Ft Hood–gun control, meaning more guns on base? Arguments not allowed. Ambien banned?
A visitor in our office today has a son stationed at Fort Hood. He was shot at, not injured, during this latest rampage. The word is, NO ONE wanted to see bho at the Memorial Service. I don’t listen to the news – I don’t trust what some outlets want us to believe.
After putting in a token amount of time for the fallen soldiers, they hopped on the plane and headed to DNC fundraisers in Houston. Apparently, they spent the night somewhere and hopped over to Austin the next day. Did they take the usual amount of extra vehicles, 900 security people etc.? Guess the Mooch is getting restless, about time for another vacay. Somewhere exotic, of course;)
