Didn’t he read his own memo? “Make it hurt the little people in fly over country as much as possible.”

He’s losing.

The ‘minibill’ strategy is working even better than expected.

Every day the Dems have to vote against funding something everyone thinks should be funded.

He found out the foreign press would be asking tough questions and not fawning like the US press leg humpers.

Obama should go back to Chicago since he's a non essential employee!

Don’t worry about it, 0bambi. We can still afford a one way airfare for you. Go home to Jakarta.

The down side? He’ll call press conference on Saturday and demand networks interrupt college football to lie thru his teeth. Claiming this is so important he cancelled his vacation to deal with it

Then he will do it again at 1:15 pm on Sunday to interrupt the NFL games. Most likely he will then be on 60 minutes.

There is also the protest at one of the Manila universities, I think it was University of the Philippines, which had a few thousand demonstrators. The the students were protesting his upcoming visit.

I thought it strange as UP, the short title, is known for being a bit left. I caught this from the airport lounge but have seen nothing else about this. I'll bet it figured in to Jug Ears decision not to go.

Declare Obama “non-Essential” and send him home. This could be a new campaign slogan.
