The White House officially said Thursday what Twitter and MailOnline knew days beforehand: that President Barack Obama would travel to Colorado and Texas this week for a series of fundraisers.
The events weren't part of the president's public schedule, but they became common knowledge after enterprising reporters obtained copies of exclusive invites for events with the president and shared them online.
The omission from Obama’s public schedule wasn’t an anomaly. The president and his administration have made a habit out of telling reporters at the last minute about previously scheduled out-of-town trips, fundraisers and speaking engagements.
