More on the Benjamins

The Mobile Press-Register reported on President Bush's visit to Mobile yesterday. In the article, from the article:
President Bush's plane touched down at Mobile Downtown Airport shortly after 4 p.m. In a span of less than four minutes, the president greeted eight members of a welcoming committee, gave a President's Volunteer Service medal to Medical Society of Mobile County President Debbie Gardner at the foot of the airplane steps and jumped into the presidential limousine.

The motorcade then traveled straight to the convention center ...

As the article mentions, Bush went to the convention center to be a speaker at a fundraiser for Senator Jeff Sessions.
 
To thank that the president of the United States has only four minutes to spend with the general public but was willing to spend much more time at the fundraiser is discouraging and disheartening. 
 
Yes, that's the way politics is, but that doesn't mean its right.
