Maybe it would be the President's last fund raising trip, he could only hope. He just landed in a city that only gets about three inches of rain a year, and it was all falling today. The President enjoyed the travel and he looked forward to speaking at the small gathering of supporters and donors but the weather was bad and he was running late but, at least he was running.

Maybe it would be the President's last fund raising trip, he could only hope. He just landed in a city that only gets about three inches of rain a year, and it was all falling today.   The President enjoyed the travel and he looked forward to speaking at the small gathering of supporters and donors but the weather was bad and he was running late but, at least he was running. 

 First he had a quick meeting with his chief of staff concerning the many problems of the administration.  The national media, the thought, had turned against him and everybody knows that one man cannot keep up with everything, not even the President.  He was the best salesman on the planet today but a lot of people had turned away from him, some of his closest of friends. 

As he walked he passed by the monument of Abraham Lincoln in the small sculptured garden, the most famous Republican in the free world and noticed that old Abe needed a good polish as the bronze looked a little beat up and he knew how that felt.    The President had never really been in charge and he knew that he barely kept up on current events, let alone old problems.  Maybe everybody was right, he was a bad President but a damn good salesman. 

The President that freed the colored people so long ago still holds on to his honor and prestige around the world. Many folks didn't know that Abe wanted to send the Negro back to the jungles of Africa and was even willing to pay their way.  It all worked out in time but one thing for sure Abraham Lincoln was dead  and he was alive and bustling with ideas that Abe could never of dreamed of so long ago.

The President and the country was about out of money and Congress was making sure he couldn't borrow any more.  He tried everything so right now he walked around with no money in his pocket, not even the two bits any good shoeshine boy would carry around.

The President has run up the nations credit card and not a single country would take another I.O.U. from the Treasurer of the United States.  With the Federal Reserve printing cash many lenders didn't want to play anymore and the economy was getting lower and lower. 

With all the trouble with Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS Constitutional hunting expedition, NSA domestic spying, Bundy Cattle Ranch problem with the BLM  and now the VA Veterans Administration and dead soldiers were some of the reasons for his next meeting.  It was just one major calamity after another and ever scandal got bigger and bigger and then Putin decided to take over the world, Iran has a nuclear bomb, Syria used WMD gas to kill thousands of people and Israel crying like a baby.

The President wanted to go home but he was tired of the White House, the phone calls and all the begging for cash money, legal or not.  He had an obligation to the Democratic Socialist Progressive Party to raise the money but even the unions were taking a step back.  They had mapped it out so well before he became President and he was sure that the colored's and the illegal's would fuel the fire.  He didn't have that far to walk for his first meeting but he didn't have a raincoat so he was kind of caught out in the rain.
