When George W. Bush flew on Airforce One to the bay area to do fundraising, all one heard was how wrong it was to use taxpayer dollars to raise funds for political parties.
When Obama does the same, the silence is deafening.
I guess the discontent was not with using Airforce One and taxpayer dollars to fundraise, but for fundraising for the wrong party.

Huh? You're comparing apples and oranges.
Is this something new that Glen Beck guy is spreading propaganda about?

It's not a fundraiser, but a mini-business summit.

why doesn't Obama meet with those business that could use a break instead of the same old facebook,google,apple and hp.
Maybe he could explain why small business are unable to pay health insurance for there employees, and why company's are still leaving California.

At least GW had decency to fly in to the southbay and greet local elected officials. What a slap in the face for a town that outvoted SF for Obama. Saw Gavin Newson on hand to greet. Obama is an elitist who will meet with certain elitist big business leaders and not with small business groups.
Mini-business summit. What a joke
