Fox News: Obama takes heat from both sides for skipping border on fundraising trip

President Obama is facing criticism from his own party for, a day after requesting nearly $4 billion to address the influx of illegal immigrant minors, rebuffing invitations to see the crisis first-hand while he's visiting Texas to raise money for Democrats.

Under pressure, the president did agree to meet with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and other local leaders in Dallas Wednesday evening, in between a packed schedule of fundraisers. But his itinerary, which has him traveling from Denver to Dallas to Austin, still does not include a stop along the border.

"I want to thank him for meeting with Governor Rick Perry, but the only thing is that meeting is 500 miles away from the border," Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, told Fox News. "He can get on Air Force One, be there in a half an hour ... right after he finishes his fundraising in Texas."
