The @placeholder raised about $3.3 million last month, while the Republican National Committee raked in more than $5 million. | WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama takes his first stab Wednesday night at the role of fundraiser in chief. President Obama raised lots of money as he campaigned, but how will he do now that the election is over? The president is the main attraction at two events in the nation's capital for the Democratic National Committee, making for the first fundraising test for Obama since he took over the presidency two months ago. As a candidate for the White House, Obama, who was then a senator from Illinois, had little trouble raising money: He broke all fundraising records, raking in nearly $750 million during his two-year campaign for the presidency.

Nearly three hours after he arrived, Obama was spotted behind the wheel of a golf cart, with @placeholder in the passenger's seat, cruising along near the ninth hole. | By Associated Press PUBLISHED: 15:40 EST, 9 November 2013 | UPDATED: 15:41 EST, 9 November 2013 Despite sporadic fall showers and the muggy Florida sun, President Barack Obama hit the greens on Saturday with a former NBA star at the ritzy golf club in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. where 'Caddyshack' was filmed. In South Florida for a trio of fundraisers the night before, Obama traveled north from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, where he joined former basketball player Alonzo Mourning at the Grande Oaks Golf Club.

"There are two common elements to what is happening in @placeholder," he told CNN. | (CNN) -- Once labeled the richest football club in Britain, Scottish champions Glasgow Rangers are now on the brink of extinction. The club that boasts a record 54 league titles and 60 domestic cups since being formed in 1872 has sunk to the lowest ebb of its illustrious 140-year history. Already in administration and with a potential tax bill of $118 million, the genuine prospect exists that Rangers -- one half of the Old Firm rivalry with Glasgow neighbors Celtic -- could be about to fold, inflicting irreversible damage on the Scottish Premier League. So if a football club with as proud a history as Rangers can come so close to the precipice, how likely is it that the disease of financial mismanagement will claim other high-profile scalps across Europe?

"It's not meant to be pleasant," admits @placeholder, but it should never include physical harm. | (Parenting) -- With my 3-year-old twins in tow, I navigated several steep flights of subway stairs, managed four train transfers, and arrived safely at the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. I took photos of them in front of the giant Apatosaurus skeleton and imparted (probably erroneous, but who cares?) facts about the Jurassic era. I am the best. Mother. Ever! To top off the special day, I decided to treat them to an educational toy at the gift shop. My son Theo wanted an astronaut, so I brought him to the space display and let him choose between three astronaut-themed items (I'm so smart to give my preschooler a sense of control by offering him a choice!). "No, astronaut!" he began to whine. "This is an astronaut," I said brightly, pointing to one of the helmeted play figures. "No!" He then slapped all the items out of my hand and began screaming. Ten minutes later, after Theo had stomped on a dozen packages of freeze-dried ice cream, I tucked one boy under each arm and staggered out. I am the worst mother ever, I said to myself, embarrassed, drained, and near tears.

@placeholder breaks into a long tirade about how ISIS' lightning advance through eastern Syria and North East Iraq has effectively destroyed the borders quietly drawn up by the Allied forces, before issuing a warning that ISIS plans on extending the territory under its control. | Islamist militants fighting for ISIS appear to have released another propaganda video - this time showing a laughing jihadist mocking U.S. president Barack Obama. The 15-minute long professionally edited video, filmed somewhere along the rebel-controlled border between Iraq and Syria, shows an unidentified fighter pulling up to the camera in a Ford 350 pick-up truck and asking: 'Obama, did you prepare enough diapers for your soldiers? '. The slick video clip carries the logo of the AlHayat Media Center - the propaganda division of ISIS, which was also responsible for last month's slick recruitment video featuring three young British jihadists pleading with other Western Muslims to join them in the Middle East.

Some say @placeholder himself occupies that seat, while the Ark served as a footstool. | A real life Indiana Jones has uncovered details about King Solomon's riches in a newly translated Hebrew text. But treasure hunters may have to wait a bit longer as, unlike the film ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ details about the exact location of these treasures are unclear. Rather than a guide to lost treasure, the newly translated ‘Treatise of the Vessels’ was a legendary story written in Biblical times that was meant to entertain.

It is not immediately clear though when the bill will be debated in the upper chamber in the current, extended sitting of @placeholder. | New Delhi (CNN) -- India's beleaguered government huddled with various political parties Wednesday, trying to come up with a way forward on an anti-corruption bill as ailing, elderly campaigner Anna Hazare continued his fast for a second day to protest legislation he slammed as too weak to deal with endemic graft. On Tuesday, the national assembly's lower chamber, the Lok Sabha, cleared the bill, aimed at creating a citizen ombudsman called the Lokpal. However, after a marathon session, legislators defeated a key federal motion to accord constitutional powers to the new watchdog. Now, the legislation is expected to be taken up by the upper house of elders, called the Rajya Sabha, where the ruling Congress party does not have a majority. In order for the anti-corruption bill to become a law, it has to be approved by both chambers of the Indian Parliament with a majority vote.

My thoughts are once again with @placeholder and the State of Colorado." | (CNN) -- The timing and location of the Arapahoe High School shooting make it certain that memories of other mass shootings won't go away. Arapahoe happened one day before the anniversary of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting. It occurred within 17 miles of two other infamous Colorado gun rampages—the Aurora movie theater shooting and Columbine High. The shooter, identified as 18-year-old Karl Halverson Pierson, shot one student before turning the gun on himself and taking his own life, Sheriff Grayson Robinson said. Arapahoe is in suburban Denver. For some people, the tragedies are linked. A mother who picked up her child from Arapahoe shared her family's anguish.

He told her he'd be out of cell phone and @placeholder range a few days. | (CNN) -- Harry Devert's motorcycle journey from the United States to Latin America is somewhat reminiscent of "The Motorcycle Diaries," which recount the South American travels of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara on an old motorbike in search of his insurgent spirit.

Residents whose homes overlook the @placeholder are getting used to these military apparitions outside their bedroom windows. | Tokyo (CNN) -- Two PAC 3 Patriot anti-missile batteries currently occupy what is normally a baseball pitch in the leafy grounds of Japan's Ministry of Defense. They point northwest -- in the general direction of North Korea. They were moved here to the heart of the Japanese capital in the early hours of Tuesday morning, alongside further batteries in two Tokyo suburbs. And if the intelligence is right, and North Korea has moved one, maybe two mid-range missiles to its eastern coast, any test firing it might choose to conduct could conceivably have its trajectory over Japan. Pyongyang is just 800 miles (1,287 kilometers) from Tokyo. It would take between five and 10 minutes for a missile to reach the skies over Tokyo. The concern here is not that North Korea has Japan or indeed any particular target in its sights, whatever its grandiose claims, it is that something might go wrong with a missile test.

"@placeholder" (Fox: 10.1 million, 3.6): Some in the industry feel Fox made a mistake not picking up this ambitious drama for a second season. | (EW.com) -- More than any year in recent memory, the survival of shows this season did not hinge on ratings. You had Fox's "Fringe" getting renewed for a final GTFO season with only 4.2 million viewers and slight 1.6 average rating. Then you had "Terra Nova" getting axed with 10.8 million viewers and a 3.6 rating. The biggest mitigating factor was a show's cost -- which usually rises along with its age -- along with the difficulty of a time period, who owns the program, how intensely critics and fans feel about the series and, believe it or not, whether a network's executives like the show. Here are the top nine highest-rated canceled shows this season:
