SHARE Obama hits Bridgeport, Kenwood in Sunday visit home

WASHINGTON–President Barack Obama hits Chicago on Sunday for what now will be four events–with the latest add a fundraising reception at the Bridgeport Art Center, 1200 W. 35th.

As I scooped on July 19, Obama returns home for a high-end fund-raiser at his home at S. Greenwood–actually the event is in his yard, so no snooping in his medicine chest–with two related funders, a few blocks away at the home of pal Marty Nesbitt and his wife, Anita Blanchard and the home of Barbara Bowman, the mother of Obama Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett.
