Barack Obama Went to Fundraise Immediately After Statement on Charleston Massacre


Townhall.com:
The mass shooting that took place in Charleston, South Carolina Wednesday night is tragic beyond belief and the nation mourns for the victims and their families. While President Obama shared his grief in a press conference this afternoon, he also couldn’t resist turning the statement into a call for gun control.
 
And then, quite predictably, he was off to fundraise and play golf.

If this sounds familiar it’s because it is. The president also went to fundraise the day after the Benghazi attack that left four Americans dead, including a sitting ambassador; he hit the links minutes after a somber address about American journalist James Foley’s beheading by ISIS; and went fundraising after giving a brief statement about the Fort Hood mass shooting. We could go on and on and on

Optics matter, and Obama still hasn’t learned that, or just doesn’t care.

  1. Thanks for sharing this article, I've really enjoyed reading this. I have recently discovered the great work that Listen Fundraising and Tony Charalambides have been doing. They have managed to raise and donate a lot of money to help save the Damilola Taylor Trust out of debt!
