Obama’s campaign trip -- one day after the New Hampshire primary -- follows a forum at the White House on “Insourcing christian louboutin sneaker American Jobs,” to encourage companies to locate jobs in the U.S. and not abroad.
Obama similarly chose the day after the Jan. 3 caucuses in Iowa for public events, traveling to the swing state of Ohio to announce his recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
“President Obama spends the entire caucus and primary period leading up to each event being rhetorically beaten to a pulp by these Republican candidates,” said Dennis J. Goldford, professor of politics at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. “It’s certainly helpful to get yourself out there” to respond, he said.
The first and largest of three fundraisers today, at the University of Illinois at Chicago Forum, features singer Janelle Monae and actor Hill Harper. It is expected to draw about 500 donors and is geared toward younger voters, with tickets starting at $44.
The other two fundraisers are to be hosted by media executive Fred Eychaner and Stuart Taylor, chief executive officer of the Taylor Group LLC and a former Bear Stearns & Co. executive, according to a Democratic Party official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to comment publicly.
Exclusive Gatherings
Tickets for the more exclusive gatherings, Christian Louboutin Slingback expected to draw about 160 guests combined, range from $7,500 to $35,800 per person, the official said. Donations benefit the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee. For the $35,800 tickets, a $5,000 maximum contribution would go to Obama’s re-election and $30,800 to the party committee.
The fundraisers and political messaging are designed to take advantage of a brief lull between Republican primaries, Goldford said. The South Carolina contest is on Jan. 21.
Obama also held a Web chat with Iowa Democrats on the night of the Iowa caucuses. Last night, after Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire Republican primary, Vice President Joe Biden arranged for video chats with New Hampshire Democrats.
The jobs forum at the White House gives Obama a platform to “show that he is the president, not a petty partisan political figure,” Goldford said.
As for the fundraisers, he said that “Christian Louboutin Vicky Botta 120mm Boots Red any time is a good time to raise money,” particularly now when supporters “can actually feel they’re doing something to counteract” the attacks on Obama.

Brand will headline a late-night series on FX this spring
"Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends," he said in a statement.
Both were spotted separately last month christian louboutin sneaker without their wedding rings: Perry, while vacationing sans Brand in Hawaii, and Brand while back home in London.
The two got hitched in an ultra-private ceremony in northern India in October 2010 and since then have professed their love in interviews and on red carpets.
But from the start, the perky singer and sharp-tongued British comedian seemed an unlikely couple. She's a campy California girl who was raised by evangelical parents. He's a ribald recovering drug addict who's open about his checkered past.
The two met on the set of Brand's 2010 comedy "Get Him to the Greek," although her cameo was cut from the film. They connected instantly.
"You know when you know, and I just knew," Perry told USA TODAY in August 2010. "He stopped my world. He's someone I can count on, a life partner. And I'm wildly attracted to him. I do feel a little bit like Priscilla Presley. It's been so lovely."
Their personal travails aside, both their careers are thriving. Brand will headline a late-night series on FX this spring, while chart-topper Perry was just named MTV's artist of the year.
Earlier this month, Ellen DeGeneres asked Christian Louboutin Sneakers guest Brand about talk of marital discord. Brand said he's "married to Katy. Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I'm still alive."
