OBAMA’S NASCAR TICKETS AUCTIONED OFF FOR CHARITY…AT A LOSS

Despite earning the nickname “fundraiser-in-chief  ” by conservatives for what appear to be endless money-raising initiatives, it’s no secret that President Obama has taken in significantly less money than Mitt Romney two months in a row. Now, it seems, he’s even having a hard time raising money for third-party causes.
After the president turned down free tickets to this year’s Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, the track reportedly chose to auction off the tickets (complete with the president’s name and White House address) for a children’s charity.
Some of the best seats in the house, the tickets retail at about $110 each, according to Sporting News  .  Unfortunately, the track not only failed to earn money by selling the tickets– it seems they actually took a loss.
