Obama to Miss Cedar Rapids Hall of Fame Dinner

Barack Obama is the only Democratic presidential hopeful who said he is not planning to attend an Iowa Democratic Party fundraiser next month. Party officials said Sen. Joe Biden has rearranged his schedule and now plans to attend the party's Hall of Fame Dinner on June 2 in Cedar Rapids.

The event is one of two major fundraisers held by the party each year to help cover the costs of the state's leadoff caucuses. The events also offer candidates a chance to meet with donors and activists.

Obama's campaign cited a scheduling conflict for his inability to attend.
