Just making note that everytime the President comes to an area, there is some Republican bidness type that crawls out and onto the teevee machine and whines about how much money he/she is losing during the hour or two the President is in the area. The most outrageous claim I've heard to date was the beer tent guy at the State Fair who came on and whined that he lost $25,000 worth of business in a couple of hours. That's a lot of beer for one little tent. Today's whiners are at an ag event where the local airport (most likely a field in the middle of nowhere) will be closed to traffic for a while and the claim is they will likely lose all those people who just want to fly in and out in their private planes.
This type of whine has become annoying and is stupidly transparent.

Associate losing money with the dems and making money with the reps, that's all they do. The propaganda works and they know it!

I know that in most cases, people shop, eat and drink before and after these events in local establishments.
But, what the local Democratic part should do is arrange a boycott of the business that yells they are losing money because of the event. Make sure they do!
