Once again a President will be coming to Medina, WA. You want people to think you are not in a DC bubble and that you are listening to the people, how about visiting the poor people instead of the rich people that can buy your votes. I get so sick of hearing about Presidents visiting Medina.

There isn't much of it in my part of town, either.

Obama coming to Seattle, Medina Sunday

"President Barack Obama will be in Seattle Sunday afternoon for a pair of private fundraisers ahead of the 2014 midterm elections.
The first will be at the North Seattle home of Tom Campion, the co-founder of clothing chain Zumiez.
The second fundraiser is at the Medina home of former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley.
No public events have been announced.
'Nothing charges people up like a presidential visit, it creates tremendous excitement,' said Paul Berendt, who is a former chairman of the Washington State Democratic Party."
-Apparently Mr. Berendt's reference to, "people", means people of consequence. You know, as in, We the People.

In our current political system CASH is what gets you access.
Do you actually still believe that the President or any other elected official actually gives a shit about you and your town?
