Barack O'Clock: VIPs in the AM, Fancy Fundraiser at Night

It's a Come to POTUS moment at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. on Tuesday, July 27: The president will play host to a bipartisan group of congressfolk, make a statement to the press mid-day, then sit down for lunch with (undisclosed) House members. In the evening, he'll swing over to the tony Mandarin Oriental Hotel for a Democratic National Committee fundraising event. Here's what's on deck:

12:00 p.m. -- Obama delivers a statement to the press in the Rose Garden.
