Obama to Spend Four Days Campaigning Next Week

by Keith Koffler on July 13, 2012, 3:54 pm

President Obama is headed out next week for nearly non-stop campaigning, even though the election is still just under four months away.

Obama will spend only next Wednesday at the White House for unspecified “meetings,” according to White House officials traveling with the president today in Virginia, where is he also campaigning.

Obama will be campaigning again in Virginia Saturday, meaning he is spending the six out of the next eight days – including today – on the campaign trail.

The president is in Southern Virginia today and will be in the central and northern part of the state Saturday.

He will be in Cincinnati Monday and then travel to San Antonio and Austin Tuesday. The Texas stops are likely fundraisers, since Obama has no chance of winning the state.

On Thursday and Friday Obama will barnstorm the critical state of Florida, hitting Jacksonville, West Palm Beach – fundraiser alert! – and, after spending the night in Manalapan, traveling to Fort Myers and Orlando before heading back to Washington.

The man is turning into a veritable stalker of Ohioans and Floridians. This upcoming visit must be number 456 for Ohio and 234 for Florida.

Glad he doesn’t come to my side of the state. We really don’t want him.

Somebody needs to call him out on this, he has a job to do and it not campaigning for two years. This is wrong!

Gee, all that campaigning, I hope he doesn’t have to miss his vacation! And he hasn’t been playing golf! My gosh, that guy has his nose to the grindstone!

He just changed it so you don’t have to work when you’re on the dole. Free to travel.

While campaigning, he will probably tickle the “felony” line and what is Romney hiding during his Mr. TelePrompter addresses. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if he indicated all the things he is hiding from the general public? Don’t you think folks would really like to see: his college transcripts, birth certificate, thesis papers, documents on his purchase of Chicago property from a convicted felon, correspondence with Rev. Wright and Bill Ayles, made-up people in his books, etc., etc. How long is his charade going to last before folks awaken to the fraud that is residing in the White House?

When I see unspecified and Obama in the same sentence I become very
fearful.

Reagan was the Teflon President. Obama is the Travelocity President.

Keith – wait…wait…wait. In your next post, you noted that he said to a TV reporter in VA that as president “you are ultimately responsible for the conduct of your operation.” Even if he is The Won, how can he conduct this responsibility when he is constantly on the road. He also said, last week I believe, that Romney had much more time to campaign because he had to be busy doin (sic) “stuff” for the “folks.” Or something……. Going to follow your excellent example and make a trip to the tea trolley – and I don’t mean iced tea.

Mr. Obama was gonna come to Texas but, he couldn’t figure out how to talk with drawl as us redneck natives do. Besides that he’s a fool, he is smart enough to know that Texans would run his worthless behind out of the state. If you vote for the ONE, then keep quite about it or water-boarding or worse may be in your future.

Oh he’s coming to Texas, Knothead. Austin has always been chock full of looney libs who love giving their money away to fellow travelers. I’m a little surprised with the San Antonio visit, but know the mayor, Julian Castro, is a big fan of the Marxist. When President Kardashian granted amnesty by fiat, Mayor Castro ran to Univision and pronounced “It’s a milestone for the United States. I applaud President Obama for this decision…”

Good thing the “media” will not report this ‘schedule’…

Is there a President in the past he has NOT tried to compare himself to except the one he most closely resembles when it comes to “governing” ?…that would be Carter. Perfect fit.

Obama will spend only next Wednesday at the White House for unspecified “meetings,” according to White House officials traveling with the president today in Virginia, where is he also campaigning.

“Meetings at the WH” is always code for little or NOTHING on the schedule that day. Since it’s in the middle of a week of nothing but campaigning, it’s a safe bet he’ll be resting in his PJ’s all day Wednesday before hitting the campaign trail again.

Here it is:

Schedule for the Week of July 16, 2012

On Monday, the President will travel to Cincinnati, Ohio for a campaign event.

On Tuesday, the President will travel to San Antonio and Austin, Texas for campaign events.

On Wednesday, the President will attend meetings at the White House.

On Thursday, the President will travel to Jacksonville and West Palm Beach, Florida for campaign events. The President will remain overnight in Manalapan, Florida.

On Friday, the President will travel to Ft. Myers and Orlando, Florida for campaign events. Later, the President will return to Washington, DC.
