WELCOME, MR. PRESIDENT TO OUR FAIR CITY.
External link:
There was a huge protest around the corner from my apartment in front of the Sheraton New York, where the President appeared for 15 minutes at a $2000 per person fundraiser. He was expected to raise more money this week than all the Democratic candidates put together have raised so far, on his way to a record-breaking quarter-billion dollar campaign fund.
Anyway, the thing that was striking to me was that all these thousands of people were out there to shout protest slogans and what have you, but I didn't see one single person who was just out there to catch a glimpse of the president, and welcome him to New York. I mean, you'd think that one person in the metro New York area would admire the President and want to just maybe see him go by in person for a second.
