WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama plans to raise money in Florida this week, including a $30,000 a person event at the Windermere, Fla., home of Dallas Mavericks guard Vince Carter. He also will promote his economic agenda in a speech at the University of Miami.

An avid basketball fan, Obama will attend a dinner Thursday at Carter's house just three days before the NBA's All-Star Game in nearby Orlando.

Also Thursday, Obama will not only speak at the University of Miami, he will also attend a fundraising reception at the Biltmore Hotel and at the Coral Gables home of lawyer Chris Korge, a top fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.

Obama last week was on a three-day West Coast trip where he raised about $8 million in eight campaign events.

Obama is going to lose big time. Don't let the media make you believe that his poll numbers are good etc. I don't know one person who likes what Obama and the Dems have done to this country in 3 short years - they've piled on regulations for businesses, expanded entitlements so half the population pays nothing, and have added more to our debt than ALL THE OTHER ADMINISTRATIONS COMBINED!Our kids will owe a fortune to China because of Obama and the Democrats socialist spending machine. Don't believe it when the kool aid dems try to convince you that he will be re-elected - no chance!
