BO and MO are doing all the traveling they can while the taxpayers are footing the bill. There is no way they will be able to support their current lifestyle after they are booted from the White House.

Wouldn’t you be embarrassed if this were you? I would. He has no shame whatsoever.

If the journalists would do an id check they would find that 50% of the crowd were Massachusetts residents and 95% of the crowd are union members who have to be there or else.

Doesn’t really surprise me, Granny Jan. Not too long ago I saw video of a Romney protestor who was a union employee. He said if he didn’t show up to the event his pay would be docked.

Janice/Granny Jan October 17, 2012 at 10:25 pm

I think that was a union guy at the Warren/Brown debate, but it could have happened more than once.

I think they bus them into NH but it’s not really a long drive when you are being reimbursed for every mile. Maybe while they are there they can do early voting to really make the trip worthwhile.

When does he start the debate prep for round no. 3? He’s going to have to get up early tomorrow morning to be out of the WH by 9:35am. I’m sure it will all be worth it when he gets to rub elbows with the 1% who will be attending the gala at the Waldorf.

The schedule for Friday says:

On Friday, the President will travel to Camp David where he will remain overnight.

So, I guess he’s finally giving up the luxury resorts for “debate camp” and actually doing the prep at Camp David this weekend.

Obama hasn’t received the message yet – there’s a new sheriff in town. He’s had the same lounge act for 4 years now – everyone is tired of it. What a shock he’s in for when his staff can’t get him a booking on all the talk shows. He’s just chasing his tail now, poor thing.

Good news….Obummer is planning his election night pity party:

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2012/10/obama_election_night_mccormick.html

President Barack Obama’s election night event in Chicago will be at McCormick Place, I’ve been told. The rally will be indoors and will not be designed to try to recreate the massive Grant Park gathering that marked Obama’s 2008 election. I reported Oct. 3 Obama will be in Chicago election night. On Wednesday, the location was confirmed.

[.....]

The massive lakefront McCormick Place complex hosted the Chicago NATO summit in May. It is a central location, near public transportation with plenty of parking and close to downtown hotels.

Really, New Hampshire? What, they have 3 electoral votes or is it 2?
Anywhere but the WhiteHouse seems to be his schedule.

If the pollsters are right, the red states are creeping into the blue areas from coast to coast. Seems that even California isn’t so hot for MrO anymore.

Srdem, not sure if you saw this article about the firewall that Obummer is trying to create in IA, NH, and OH to block a Romney victory. It was linked on Drudge the other day:

Keith, while we’re on the topic of schedules here’s some info about Moochelle next week. She’s going out to CA next Thursday (10/25) for a fundraiser at Will Smith’s house. The next day, she’s going to a billionaire’s house in La Jolla for another fundraiser:

Mrs. Obama will attend a luncheon on Oct. 25th hosted by Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith at their mansion in Calabasas, located right outside Los Angeles. Top ticket prices are $10,000 per couple, with $40,000 getting a donor and a companion lunch, a photo with Mrs. Obama, and an exclusive “meet-and-greet” preceding the meal. Actress Salma Hayak is also among the co-hosts.

[...]

On Oct. 26, Mrs. Obama will travel to La Jolla for a fundraiser hosted by Irwin Jacobs, the billionare co-founder of Qualcomm, and his wife Joan.

Oh, and on Thursday 10/25 she’ll be making her first appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show:

she has to rack up those govt frequent flyer miles while she can. Plus a few days away from MrO (a mini vacation). Lobsters have officially gone into hiding.

Must be nice to be the emperor and empress of the greatest nation on earth. Ozero has allowed his Marxist cronies to run roughshod over the economy while he lounges and vacations, then he declares exhaustion from his exertions and flees to another campaign event and avoidance of responsibility. The man and his wife are slackers and leeches.

Keith, when Romney wins this election, I hope you continue this blog. Even with Obama out of office, we still need to keep vigil over the occupants of Our House.

We’ll take Romney over Obama any day, but as Eastwood said, If you aren’t doing the job then its time to get out.

Star October 18, 2012 at 11:12 am

This site is about the WH, not the occupant, right, Keith? There will still be plenty to follow–ins and outs–for one thing, keeping campaign promises is tricky for anyone. We parse fine over here–that will still be needed.

U.S. President to appear on Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Before, it was the View. Before that it was The Late Show with David Letterman.
Keith, it does not reflect well on your profession….journalism.

When I see these schedules and think of all the glitzy parties both Obama’s
have been too at our expense it makes me sick. Then I think of the Romney’s
and how they live with their own wealth. Yes they have homes and she has
horses but we didn’t pay for them. Also the Obama’s and the high dollar food
they love and there’s a really stark difference. I read an article where Mitt was
saying how good Ann’s meatloaf and mashed potatoes were and was reminded when the whole family gets together they have a chore wheel so
all the family knows what they are responsible for and in the kitchen you could
see two washers and two dryers. You think Michelle knows what a kitchen is
for or how often on their many vacations any of the Obama’s have chores?

RickW October 18, 2012 at 9:23 am

So true, Lizzy. I saw a story last week (origin escapes me, Sorry) where a consulting firm measures “actual cash you relinquish control of”, namely income taxes plus charitable contributions. Mitt, the “14% tax rate guy” came in at 47% in the study, giving away 33% of their income to charity. Although the Romneys could well afford Kobe beef, I bet they do not eat it.

The Mooch will be appearing on the Jimmy Fallon Show next Thursday, Oct. 25. In a statement, ABC said ‘the first lady will encourage viewers to exercise their right to vote’. Such chutzpah! We know our rights and we don’t need this harriden to remind us of anything. Romney voters will be out en masse, no need for reminders.
