Axis of cynicism: Obama, Reid, Pelosi

 A White House aide says President Barack Obama plans to attend a solemn memorial service Wednesday at Fort Hood — the site of last week’s shooting rampage.
Just a couple hours later Obama will be glad-handing at a Democratic fundraiser in Houston for House and Senate candidates.
The Associated Press obtained an invitation to the April 9 event where tickets start at $16,200 a person and go up to $64,800 for a couple. Democratic leaders Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi [left] are also expected to attend.  The AP reports that the money  will go to Democratic campaign committees in the House and Senate.
