Boxer's campaign announced today that President Barack Obama will travel to the Bay Area next month to attend a joint fundraising event for Boxer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Obama attended a fundraiser for Boxer in Los Angeles last night.

"The jet fumes of Air Force One haven't even cleared, and already Barbara Boxer is begging for an encore," Republican National Committee spokesman Jahan Wilcox said via e-mail. "Obviously the internals in the Boxer campaign indicate that she is going to have the fight of her political career."

And, undoubtedly more gay protests for Obama.

Barbara Boxer's polling numbers must really be in the dumpster.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina held a conference call with reporters a short while ago to trash-talk President Barack Obama’s visit to California today to raise money for incumbent U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., but not all of her facts stand up to scrutiny.
+++++++
And, neither does Josh Richman's phony news story here including squoting Obama's Organizing for America. Richman's paper has already endorsed Tom Campbell and will 100 per cent endorse Boxer in the general election.
This piece is a pathetic piece of advocacy pseudo-journalism.
The California economy is in turmoil and Obama, plus Boxer have done nothing but make matters worse. Quoting facts about George W. Bush notwithstanding.

Sheesh – what a crap story.

President Obama is “swooping” into Los Angeles today to try to save Senator Barbara Boxer–the same way he saved Gov. John Corzine in New Jersey and would-be Senator Martha Coakley in Massachusetts!

The President will undoubtedly raise a few more million dollars for Boxer from the Hollywood Left. But Boxer doesn’t need more money. She needs more spine—spine to stand up to the big unions that are helping drive California into disaster.

What Obama and Boxer don’t seem to realize is that they—like Corzine and Coakley–are on the wrong end a taxpayer rebellion. For decades, Californians paid high taxes but got good services in return: good schools and roads, an excellent university system. But now, after favor after favor to the unions from their pliant political pawns, we have bloated payrolls, unfireable teachers who are the highest-paid in the nation, state workers who retire at 55 and make more money not working than when they were working.

Boxer is in deep trouble.

After a long day of work in Washington and a long transcontinental flight to Los Angeles, President Obama told a crowd of Democratic donors in Los Angeles Monday night that he was "fired up!"

Turns out so were some of the crowd members.

The president's 29-minute speech was interrupted several times by gay protesters impatient with the lack of progress in repealing the military's "Don't Ask-Don't Tell" policy regarding gays.

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have both often urged patience on gay-lesbian and transgender advocates, promising to repeal the policy in time. But tonight the protesters would have no more talk of patience, rejecting the president's repeated promise that he would repeal the policy and at one point breaking out into the trademark Obama chant of "Yes We Can!"

Well, Obama has done nothing for the gay community but pander.

"With sufficient foreign assistance, Iran could probably develop and test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the United States by 2015," said the April report, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.

A classified version was also submitted to Congress.

The timing of advances in Iran's long-range missile technology is being closely watched in Washington, which accuses Tehran of pursuing nuclear weapons and is pushing for a new round of sanctions. Iran denies the charges and says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
+++++++
North Korea, China and Russia will oblige. Yet Obama is cutting back missile defense and making arms deals with the Russians.
A dangerous course of action.

Three possibilities: The blogger, Kavon Nikrad, made the whole thing up; Nikrad told the truth and Team Mitt is lying its butt off to do damage control; or Nikrad misunderstood that when Romney answered “no,” he was responding to the part of the question about pre-existing exclusions, not the mandate. That would make sense politically — the exemption for pre-existing conditions is the most popular part of ObamaCare and the mandate, arguably, is the least popular — but, per Philip Klein, the two really are a package deal.

Flip Flopper Mitt Romney had better qualify his remarks directly and quickly.

After leaving the California Democratic Party convention here Sunday, gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown stopped by the city's oldest African American church. Coincidentally, the message the pastor preached at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church: "Yesterday's victory does not guarantee victory today."

The symbolism is apt for Democrats and the 72-year-old Brown as he seeks to return to the governor's office he occupied from 1975 to 1983. A little more than a year and a half since the excitement generated by President Obama's presidential victory, Democrats in the nation's most populous state spent the past three days searching for something to stir enthusiasm for their 2010 campaigns.

Voters are tired of Jerry Brown and the unions that control the Democrat Party

Convention Report: This weekend was the state Democratic Party convention–the one where they wouldn't let me speak. I went anyway. I wrote the most provocative leaflet I could (I'll post it soon) but people persisted in being nice, and many seemed to read it. Even a few guys in union jackets. I had some heated arguments. About a dozen people dramatically handed the leaflet back. Only a couple of people walked away saying they were disgusted. All good. Several conventiongoers said what Democrats of child-rearing age often say–roughly, "I disagree with everything in here except the part about the teachers' unions. They're awful." You have to wonder if these unions' leaders know just how despised they are.

A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation's president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead.

On a cool but sun-drenched Sunday, the president and three golfing companions went to Andrews Air Force Base to play 18 holes. It is the 32nd time Mr. Obama has played golf since taking office Jan. 20, 2009, according to CBS Radio's Mark Knoller.

More than Bush in 8 years

Nearly a year later, Mr. Obama has yet to set foot in an American mosque. And he still has not met with Muslim and Arab-American leaders. But less publicly, his administration has reached out to this politically isolated constituency in a sustained and widening effort that has left even skeptics surprised.

Muslim and Arab-American advocates have participated in policy discussions and received briefings from top White House aides and other officials on health care legislation, foreign policy, the economy, immigration and national security. They have met privately with a senior White House adviser, Valerie Jarrett, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to discuss civil liberties concerns and counterterrorism strategy.
