Trying to maximize both time and profit, President Obama makes his signature fundraising move of late by doing two back-to-back fundraisers at the same Florida hotel Monday.
The President will round up $1.5 million, says a Democratic source, for House and Senate Democrats at the famed Fontainebleau Miami Beach when he speaks before an evening reception and then dinner benefiting the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
There will be 450 people in attendance at both events.
As per YWN-113, Northbound Collins Avenue between 41st Street & 48th Street will be closed from 4:00PM Monday until 9:00AM Tuesday. 41st Street, I-195, and I-95 will also have periodical closures.

41st is flowing normally now
Once again Obama is mixing offical events with fund raiser so the tax payer will pay for part of the fund raising.
IT seems like he just can’t get enough of Air Force One. Like a little boy that just got his first bike……
GottaHaveEmunah – I am relieved he’s not trying to fly it into the empire state building!
