WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to make a public case this week for his strategy for dealing with a potential fiscal crisis, traveling to the Philadelphia suburbs Friday as he pressures Republicans to allow tax increases on the wealthy while extending tax cuts for families earning $250,000 or less.
The White House said Tuesday that the president intends to hold events aimed at building support for his approach to avoid across-the-board tax increases and steep spending cuts in defense and domestic programs. Obama will meet with small-business owners at the White House on Tuesday and with middle-class families on Wednesday.

Actually, it's called "doing his job."

POTUS will do most anything to avoid actually doing his job, heaven forbid that he actually meet with the Republicans to negotiate like a man.
How much money are these trips costing while he tours around saying that the government is broke?!? Stay in DC and teleconference...this is the president who said he couldn't live without his BlackBerry...time to embrace Skype and save millions on his appearances alone...
