In case you missed it, here is the latest Roundup of news about President Barack Obama.

Digging for Gold:

Obama: "So we're going to have to work through that."

His  comments came during a gala for the gay community in Los Angeles, part  of a daylong fundraising swing in California–his third in the Golden  State in the past month. Earlier in the day, he attended two campaign  events in San Francisco.

Obama trumpeted his administration's  work in the gay rights’ movement, including the repeal of "Don't Ask,  Don't Tell" and the signing into law of the so-called Matthew Shepard  Act, a law that qualifies crimes targeting sexual orientation as hate  crimes.

"I could not be prouder of the work we've done on behalf  of the LGBT community," he said, a little less than a month after he  said he was in favor of same-sex marriage.

"If anybody other  there asks you what this campaign is about, you tell them it's still  about hope and change," he said to thunderous applause. "If you remember  that and want to work just as hard or harder this time as you did the  last time, we'll finish what we started."

Following the event, he headed to a private Hollywood fundraising dinner at the home of "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy.

Nearly  a month after President Obama announced his support for same-sex  marriage, on Wednesday night he got a rousing reception and at least  $2.5 million at a gala of gay rights supporters and a private,  celebrity-studded dinner afterward.

Mr. Obama was introduced at  the gala by an Army surgeon who benefited from the president’s repeal of  the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law against openly gay people in the  military. And his appearance on the ballroom stage of a Beverly Hills  hotel here provoked a long standing ovation and chants of “four more  years” that Mr. Obama finally brought to an end after nearly two  minutes.

The GOP Message:

President Obama says Republicans have only one message this election: Blame him.

"They're  going to say (to voters), well, you know what, you're still not  satisfied and it's Obama's fault," he told donors last night in Los  Angeles. "That's the essence of their campaign.

"It's very easy to put on a bumper sticker," the president added. "'It's Obama's Fault.'"

Obama  said that while many Americans are still hurting, the nation is  recovering from the recession he inherited, the worst since the Great  Depression.

New Hashtag - #dontdoublemyrate:

President  Obama is trying to use the success of social media to get his proposal  to prevent interest rates on student loans from doubling at the end of  the month.

While speaking to a crowd of 2,500 on the campus of  University of Nevada-Las Vegas, he urged students to pressure Congress  for action by writing on their Facebook walls, and tweeting with the  hashtag #dontdoublemy rate.

He told the students that if Congress  didn't act by July 1st, interest rates on federal student loans will  double and would end up costing the average student an additional $1000.

"At  this make-or-break moment for America's middle class, we can’t afford  to have Congress take five months off.  You've got to keep working.   You're not suddenly just sitting around not doing anything," he told the  crowd. "You should expect the same thing from your representatives in  Washington, right ?"

He issued a presidential memorandum to the  Secretaries of Education Treasury on Thursday to improve the process for  what the White House says will  educate borrowers and make it easier to  pay back their loans.
