I thought Obama couldn't run for President again. Isn't two terms, the constitutional limit?
So why all these fundraisers, even now? What is all this money for? Four YEARS before the next Prez election?
When a President goes somewhere, the FAA restricts flying within 30 miles of where he'll be, for most of that day (or days).
They have just issued a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) for Las Vegas and surrounding areas, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM local time. The reason given, is a Presidential visit.
Yep, same place Obama told us not to visit to blow all our money, because the recession is so bad.

Because TFR airspace frequently changes, AOPA strongly encourages
pilots to obtain a briefing before every flight.
