Does anyone know
 
if the President has asked the leaders of congress to come back to Washington to go to work ?

Sorry for wasting space...just found it.

He is NOT calling anyone back although he DOES have the authority. So, until Labor day, he has fundraisers for his campaign and perhaps members of congress do the same !!!!

Obama main attraction at fundraisers Monday night
By: CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser

Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama turns his attention to campaign politics Monday night, as he headlines two events for the Democratic National Committee and his re-election campaign.

According to the White House schedule, the president first attends a gathering of approximately 140 guests at a private residence in the nation's capital. A DNC official says proceeds from the $15,000 per family gathering will go to the Obama Victory Fund, with the money raised shared by the president's re-election campaign and DNC.....
.........
Obama's reelection campaign and the DNC raised a combined $86 million between April and June, blowing past the combined $60 million goal set by both groups at the start of the second quarter. Of the $86 million raised, the campaign said over $47 million went into the coffers of Obama for America and more than $38 million went to the DNC....
