Obama’s most momentous week: So, he goes fundraising

In case you wondered if Democrat President Obama would keep his eye on the ball in the final months of this term, his schedule this week tells the tale:

This is the final week for Supreme Court decisions this term. That means the country will learn if Obama’s hallmark healthcare legislation will live or die or survive in some court-imposed mutated form.

Flying beneath the radar were thousands of Sunday homilies rousing Roman Catholics against ObamaCare’s religious restrictions.

Having pronounced the court virtually certain to toss the entire 2,600+ pages as unconstitutional, the media are now hedging prognosticating bets to a partial toss-out. So they can claim perspicacity either way. That could come today or perhaps Wednesday.

We’ll also learn if Arizona’s attempt to combat illegal immigration in the absence of federal diligence will survive, possibly in some altered form as well. The liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals threw out Arizona’s law, SB 1070, but holds the circuit record for having decisions overturned by SCOTUS.

Both decisions will affect both the developing presidential campaigns in both negative and positive ways. Obama indicated two months ago that he might make an over-reaching Supreme Court an issue, should he lose there. Why not? The constitutional lawyer has blamed pretty much everyone else for anything.

And then, of course, there’s the House vote to hold his attorney general in contempt for not delivering documents on the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal.

Obama ended last week with a Florida campaign event, where, oops, he fell down (Video here). That was widely seen as a metaphor for the president’s awful month of June.

With the economy and employment situations finally in tip-top shape, Obama got in another round of golf Sunday and launches this “work” week by flying Air Force One up to New England for not one, not two, not three, but four more fundraisers today.

Then, after overnighting in Boston to rest his vocal chords, Obama flies back down South for more fundraising. It’s probably coincidence that Obama also was out-of-town – fundraising, of course – on June 1 when the awful May job numbers came out.

With the president absent collecting more campaign money to try to catch up with Republican Mitt Romney’s haul in recent weeks, Vice President Joe Biden is — wait for it! — doing the very same thing. After another three-day weekend in Delaware, he’ll be in Chicago today collecting money from the gang. And then overnight in Iowa for, gee, whatever could JB be after out there on Tuesday?
