[El Paso, Texas:]Early Afternoon Arrival Scheduled for Presidential Visit
KTSM ^ | May 6, 2011 | Matt Rivers

Posted on 05/07/2011 10:36:50 AM PDT by SwinneySwitch

President Will Arrive in El Paso at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday

EL PASO- The White House has announced the President's itinerary for next week's trip to the Sun City.

The President will arrive at Biggs Airfield on Fort Bliss at approximately 12:45 in the afternoon. From there, it's on to Chamizal National Memorial.

The President will deliver his remarks about immigration in a 1:30 p.m. speech, presumably at the park's small stage.

It's not known yet whether the event will be open to the public.

The President is set to take off from Biggs Airfield aboard Air Force One just before 3 p.m.

It's worth noting that the President rarely arrives and takes off on time. During his last visit in August, he was over a half-an-hour later arriving on post.

Stay tuned to NewsChannel 9 all day on Tuesday as we bring you live cut-ins during regular programming with wall-to-wall Presidential coverage.

Hmmmmm....

Kinda makes ya wonder if he realizes that, in El Paso, he’s closer to an active war zone -with a higher casualty rate - than anything in Afghanistan...

If, by "public" you mean a carefully selected group of DemocRAT toadies, then yes, it might be "open to the public".

Maybe he’s got a date with his drug cartel friends.

I hope all who lost in those fires were 0 voters.
Maybe they’ll think twice next time.

I’m slow today. It took me the entire article, which I read with some confusion, to recognize that GWB was not returning to TX from somewhere. I just can’t link a respectable title like “president” and the great state of TX to a communist whiner like Obama. I have never used that title for the druggie, don’t think of him in that way, and can’t imagine him fitting in with decent people in TX.

Yeah, I think that he is also scheduled to visit Austin later. I’d go protest, but it’s not much use in that blue cancer of Texas.

BTW, did you hear anything about the 5 yr old who shot his 3 yr old brother or sister in the stomach yesterday? It was down SE of Austin.

“The President will deliver his remarks about immigration in a 1:30 p.m. speech, presumably at the park's small stage.”

Very interesting. Two years, three months and 20 days in office and now we are getting a big no huge push for comprehensive (amnesty)immigration reform.
Three months and twenty days AFTER losing a huge, unbeatable majority in both the House & Senate, he is now pursuing immigration reform.
My guess is, this will be the new club to beat up on the TeaPartyers. The Republican mainstream will fold like a cheap suit.
So the Racers will spend the next 18 months calling the TeaParty racist. Just politics as usual.

I think that Obummer voters were pretty rare in Texas the first time around.In 2012 they are going to be virtually extinct.

We like to think of it that way, but there are more and more libs moving here every day, and our Republican majority in the Texas House is mostly composed of squishy RINOs.

They've got every decent anti-illegal immigration bill locked up in limbo right now, and there seems to be little chance that any of them will get out of committee and to the floor.

If the Dem/RINOs can keep these bills from being voted on, it'll be another two years before we can address the problem again.

LOL!

“It’s worth noting that the President rarely arrives and takes off on time.”

Like Clinton, this slob doesn’t do anything on time. They probably had to hold the Bin Laden mission until he finally showed up...

Is there a reason during high energy prices, this Obozo cannot address his loyal subjects via HD channels, and leave those two Air Force Ones at home thereby saving the planet of his precious CO2? Not to mention the hundreds and thousands of pounds of jet fuel this guy burns on a daily basis. When did all this life aboard AF1 become the norm?

I would love to see a comparison showing the amount of time GWB had AF1s in the air vs the messiah and his time aloft. Seems like this data should be available through FOIA - times of departure and places of destination could be redacted. I would like to see is hours on the AF airframes and the month/year.

With W on board it was AF1. With Zippy, it's Tamale1.

Don’t kid yourself. Leftist (like the devil) never sleep. I imagine they’ve been working on schemes 24/7.

People moving in from blue states that can afford to lose a few votes there just to vote (d) here or screw it up by voting third party. I kid you not, they are working on everything they can come up with to keep this AH in power.

There are people we don’t even know exist paying his way and covering his sorry azz. If we get this next election we might have a chance, but if not, I really do believe it will be the end of America as we know and love.
