On West Coast, Obama makes fundraising push



President Obama opened a West Coast fundraising blitz Sunday with appearances at four events in Seattle and San Jose as his reelection campaign sought to make up ground after a series of summer setbacks.
Obama told donors at Shirley’s residence that electing a Republican president would usher in “an approach to government that would fundamentally cripple America in meeting the challenges of the 21st century,” and he cited the budget debate in Congress as part of “a constant ideological pushback” that his agenda has encountered since he took office.

He said the 2012 election will be “especially hard, because a lot of people are discouraged,” but he vowed to “keep drawing a clear contrast” between his vision and that of the GOP.
