Obama is the campaigner in chief, breaking records for the number of campaign stops and fundraisers he’s made so far, all over America. He’s also breaking records for the amount of money he is costing the places he travels too for these campaign events. And neither he, nor his campaign, nor the DNC, are interested in paying the costs incurred by local communities as a result.
We had our own example in Durham, where an anonymous donor finally volunteered to cover costs, some of which which Durham outsourced to other towns who did not–to our knowledge–have anonymous benefactors themselves. That means that taxpayers are still fronting the cost of Obama’s campaign everywhere his campaign roams.
