Obama to Hide from Liberals in San Francisco

President Obama is headed to San Francisco this week to collect gobs of money from rich folks at a fundraiser at the St. Francis Hotel. Seems like the perfect time to get in one of those photo ops at a school or a factory or a raw food restaurant, right? Wrong! Obama won't be making any appearances other than the fundraiser for fear of protests from crazy lefties. Someone involved in the planning of the president's trip told the San Francisco Chronicle that the administration is concerned about unsightly protests by Code Pink, anti-war groups and mad-as-hell gays. As if hiding away with fat cats the whole time wasn't enough of a middle finger to San Franciscans, Obama is leaving the city to go hang out with George H.W. Bush. Boo. Hiss. [SF Gate]
