Obama Visiting Baltimore Area

President Barack Obama will stop by Owings Mills before appearing downtown Baltimore Tuesday, according to the Baltimore Sun.

President Barack Obama will attend a high-profile fundraiser lunch at the home of an Owings Mills developer Tuesday before an appearance in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Obama will visit the home of campaign donors Josh and Genine Fidler, owners of Chesapeake Realty Partners, one of the area's largest development firms, according to the Sun.

The Sun reports that guests will pay up to $50,000 to attend the lunch, a far cry from the donations ranging from $250 to $10,000 to gain entry to the event in Baltimore, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore at the Inner Harbor, according to WJZ-TV.

Obama last visited the Baltimore suburbs in February 2011, the science and technology department at Parkville Middle School.
