Obama Spends $100 Million to Try and Save Harry Reid's Job

This morning Obama signed the Travel Promotion Bill, a $100 million effort to save Harry Reid's job:

The Travel Promotion Act creates the Corporation for Travel Promotion whose activities will be funded through a matching program featuring up to $100 million in private sector contributions and a $10 fee on foreign travelers who do not pay $131 for a visa to enter the United States.

The fee will be collected once every two years in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security’s Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). No money is provided by U.S. taxpayers.

As CBS' Mark Knoller tweets:

Welcome to America. That will be ten dollars.

Good bet a picture of Obama signing the Travel Promotion bill with Sen. Reid at his side makes its way into Reid's re-election campaign ads.

In Las Vegas last month, Obama promised Sen. Harry Reid, up for re-election, that he'd support the bill to attract foreign visitors to US.

For those foreigners coming to America on vacation or business, if it's easier for you you can just make your checks payable to the Harry Reid re-election campaign.
