President Obama really gets around. After all, those funds aren’t gonna raise themselves! In a short span of time this week, the president has spent time in Denver, Dallas, and Austin, where he’s shot pool and raised money for the DSCC, DCCC, and DNC.

That photo was taken in Denver. As in, Colorado. As in, not even a border state.

Editor’s note: The original lead tweet has been replaced for clarity.

Update:
Yahoo! News has quietly changed the headline:
Unfortunately, the new headline still accompanies photos from Denver and Dallas. So … still wrong, Yahoo! News.
Oh, and the URL still says “border”:
Whoops.

Update:
Evidently Yahoo! News decided it would just be easier to do away with the slideshow altogether. Clicking on the original link will now take you to other Obama slideshows, like these:
