Fallin Not In Oklahoma To Welcome President Obama
Gov. Fallin's office says her absence this week isn't about politics but timing. Governor Mary Fallin did not greet President Obama when he arrived in Oklahoma Wednesday night.
The Governor has made it no secret she's not a big fan of President Obama especially when it comes to his energy policies and the Keystone pipeline. But her office says her absence this week isn't about politics but timing.
According to the Governor's press secretary, their office found out about the President's visit on Friday afternoon from the media. The Governor and her family were already out of state on vacation.
The White House didn't notify the Governor's office the president was coming to Oklahoma until Sunday.
The Governor's office had intended to send Energy Secretary Michael Ming but he is also out of town.
So they will be sending Commerce Secretary Dave Lopez to represent the administration.
"I wouldn't expect for her to make a change, I doubt he (President Obama) would have asked her too," said James Maxwell, when asked how he felt that the Governor wouldn't be here. "I don't see any issue with that."
"I think she should be here, I really do," countered Jean Frederick. "She's on vacation? I think she should be here to welcome our president. He is our president."
"I also tried to find out who invited him here," said Steve Agee, PhD, the Dean of the Meider's School of Business at Oklahoma City University. "Because someone from the home state invites the president to come to the venue and sets things up. But it's my understanding that didn't happen either. That this originated from the White House."
Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb will also be out of town he will be in Washington at the National Lt. Governor's meeting.
Oklahoma is the only state where Obama lost every county in 2008.

>> But her office says her absence this week isn’t about politics but timing.
timing... Heh heh... as in “I’d never give you so much as the time of day, Barky!”
In a way, ignoring him in favor of time off is a WORSE snub than if it were openly ideological.
Bambi assumes the world revolves around him.
If he invited himself round to my house and left me to find out he was coming from the media, there wouldn’t be anyone to meet him.
The only spelling error I see is Meider’s it should be Meinders School of Business.

“I think she should be here, I really do,” countered Jean Frederick. ......Who’s she?
Barry’s lack of class shows yet again. Why wait for an invitation when one can just barge in? How very dictatorial of him.
They should have added that if she had not been out of state on vacation she would have had to wash her hair that day.
Another reason I’m glad my kid gets back on the airplane Sunday to go back the University of Oklahoma. Besides - it’s a much better financial deal than Uni of Ca, or Cal States!
Another campaign stop where we the taxpayers foot the bill.
She could be talking about Mooch or their daughter and be right most of the time. That family takes more vacations than anyone on the planet. Leave the governor alone. Like the rest of the country, she probably only takes one vacation a year. Unlike Obama.
