HuffingtonPost:
.....Senator John Cornyn (R-Tex.) has been particularly scornful of the president for hitting the fundraising circuit, going so far as to say he thought Obama "has diminished" the office of the presidency for giving campaign like speeches about the debt ceiling while heading to Philadelphia to raise money for his reelection campaign.
It would be a seemingly more effective argument if Cornyn wasn't doing a bit of fundraising himself. The Texas Republican, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, is set to attend a reception for Senator Dean Heller (R-Nev.) at the NRSC's headquarters from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. The suggested contribution is $1,000 per Political Action Committee and $500 per person.
The Heller fundraiser is actually the second one in as many days. Cornyn was listed as attending another NRSC fundraiser on Wednesday evening at the W Hotel in Washington, D.C., to raise funds for the Republican Senate Council.....
Why does Cornyn think that President Obama has "diminished" the office of the Presidency? Is Cornyn showing his racism? He might not think that his attacks are racist, but I do.
Republicans, especially Cornyn, have been busy raising campaign funds-----
