from
Wikipedia
Several local politicians have expressed concern that Puerto Rico has become a " piggy bank " for presidential campaigns.
Recent examples include Vice President Dick Cheney's whirlwind two-hour visit to collect $ 300, 000 in 2006 and Senator Barack Obama's somewhat longer three-hour trip in November, 2007 to collect $ 200, 000 Both refused to meet with the news media, press the flesh or meet with local politicians, inconceivable in Iowa or New Hampshire.
