Kim Jong Il died Monday, which probably explains the delay. Look for tomorrow’s headline:
Communist Leader ruins Marxist Leader’s trip to Hawaii.
DNC-Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz blames the GOP for wishing ill on Il.
Wow…another killer schedule. Impressive.
Work, work, work. It just never ends.
How does he stand the strain ? I would be to embarrassed to print that schedule. They could at least add a bunch of fake stuff they lie all the time anyway. Heaven only knows what he fills those empty hours with or who.
It’s ok..Obama will just ask please give us the nukes…
I thought I heard he had a golf simulator installed in the basement near the White House bowlng alley, that would explain the use of all his free time. Maybe he doesnt even care to be in Hawaii with Michelle?? Enjoying some bachelor time? Who knows, who cares. Keep up the great work Keith!!
Golf stimulator? Hmm…spelled HAWII-e ;-)
Nice n peaceful here in the Islands for now…Aloha
Still no sign of the parvenu, Moochelle?
Nice word:)
Perhaps she was welcoming home the troops here or consoling the 1000 or so people that just lost their job due to hospital closures.
Doubtful…not while she’s on vacation.
The weather is not very “tropical” right now..kinda nasty. Awww
Looks like the afternoon is open. How’s the weather?
He wouldn’t get up at 8:00am to leave for Hawaii anyone. He doesn’t seem to keen to join the Queen does he?
I am beginning to wonder if there is trouble in paradise between the great one and Mooch. She sure does like to travel without him and do her own thing. Barry seems to be more interested in his golf game than anything else. Honestly, I feel for the kiddo’s. Must be a difficult living with those two.
Heard on the news yesterday that the Senate passed 2-month extension of the payroll tax will be paid for by a permanent mortgage fee. Approximately $15/month for the life of the loan added to any new/refinanced mortgages by govt lenders (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA). Way to go out of touch politicians…that is sure to help the housing market recover.
I know you don’t watch 60 Minutes or something, but they did a piece on people who are not walking away from their upsidedown homes. Wrenching. My house is worth half of what I am paying on–but to rent would be as much. So…sitting it out–but it’s 2/3 of my so-called income. Also it takes money to rent–and move. The practical aspects…
That is the best way to preserve your investment Star. All we can do is stick it out and hope for better times.
It’s shelter–like renting…not an investment and never will be in my lifetime anyhow. But we need a roof and have three rescue animals which makes an apt difficult, so we stick…
Meets with ‘senior Advisors” When Washingtom met with senior advisors, they were known giants of thought and accomplishment: Hamilton, Jefferson, and Adams.
Obama’s advsiors? Unknowns? Czars? Fellow travelers? Caddies? Who ever they are, I hope they have an expert in Korean affairs amongst them, really.
“Doesn’t leave”…you tickle me, Keith.
As for his leaving–isn’t the “deal” disintegrating–more chances to whack the Reps?
Maybe a little basketball?
What a bunch of teabagging boobs comment on this site.
Yep
Our bad
We were waiting for you to bring the charm, Claire.
what star said ;)
LOL@ 8:00 AM entry
Apparently Obama had coffee with a bunch of lib reporters today. I noticed that didn’t make the daily schedule, unless ‘meets with senior advisors’ covers that.
Good one, Kimberly.
