Obama’s schedule for Fresno trip released:

Excerpt:

President Barack Obama’s trip to the Fresno area on Friday will not be open to the public, according to the White House.

Obama will arrive in Air Force One at Fresno Yosemite International Airport at 2:30 p.m., traveling from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

Taking Marine One, the presidential helicopter, Obama will fly to the San Luis Water Facility in Firebaugh to tour a local farm at 4:15 p.m.

At 4:30 p.m. Obama will deliver remarks at a private residence in Los Banos.

At 5:35 p.m., he will depart Fresno from Fresno Yosemite International Airport and fly to the Palm Springs area to meet with King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Even though the president is too much of a coward to face the enraged citizens in a conservative area, we're planning on being at the Fresno airport anyway. Should be a protest crowd there somewhere. I see on the Central Valley Tea Party site that they are planning a response. Time and place TBA.

GOOD on you dearest Jim and y’all.

The Marxist is a full blown coward, afraid to face the good people of Fresno.

[P-Marlowe]

Maybe he’ll catch Valley Fever.

[Jim Robinson]

At 5:35 p.m., Emperor Obama will depart Fresno from Fresno Yosemite International Airport and fly to the Palm Springs area to bow down before King Abdullah II of Jordan.

[Mastador1]

The perfect venue for zero, Los Banos, and I don’t mean the polite translation!

[BenLurkin]

He’s too much of a coward to even meet with local elected officials — who are not fellow ‘Rats.

“Rep. Jim Costa, a Fresno Democrat, will arrive with Obama aboard Air Force One, as will California’s two senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer. Both are Democrats.

“Rep. Devin Nunes, a Visalia Republican, had not been invited as of Wednesday to participate in the president’s visit, said Nunes’ chief of staff Johnny Amaral. Tal Eslick, chief of staff for Rep. David Valadao, R-Hanford, said his boss had requested time with Obama to talk about the drought, but had not yet received a reply, nor had he received any details about the Valley visit.”

Then he’s going to Palm Springs and screw up aircraft for the rest of the weekend!

Military prepares for President Obama's visit to Fresno

~snips~
President Barack Obama's trip to Fresno is scheduled for Friday, but signs of his arrival are already visible.
A military transport plane and presidential aircraft are parked at Fresno's airport.

The presidential choppers and the Ospreys came off a big transport plane and are being readied at the Army National Guard base. The aircraft are expected to be used to carry the president and his entourage on a tour of the Valley.

Congressman Jim Costa of Fresno will be accompanying the president. He told us by phone from Washington, President Obama is deeply concerned about the drought.

"He wanted to see first-hand the impacts of very, very productive land that doesn't have surface water and well water, and we are working on that, and we hope it will be a very productive visit," said Costa.

Security will of course be tight.

At 5:35 p.m., Emperor Obama will depart Fresno from Fresno Yosemite International Airport and fly to the Palm Springs area to bow down before King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Has the potential of being even worse! President Obama and King Abdullah II are expected to discuss Middle East peace and the civil war in Syria.

At 5:35 p.m., Emperor Obama will depart Fresno from Fresno Yosemite International Airport and fly to the Palm Springs area to bow down before King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Please hit your ping and calling lists for Central Valley areas.

[OldNavyVet]

Welcome Obama with waving American flags and lots of noise. ... Reason being ... Don't screw up the lives of the good people on his security team.

Time, and tide turning, will take proper care of Obama

"He wanted to see first-hand the impacts of very, very productive land that doesn't have surface water and well water, and we are working on that, and we hope it will be a very productive visit," said Costa.

Let me guess...Obama's going to enhance productivity by pissing on the parched, conservative Central Valley.

Jim Costa belongs in the unemployment line. Well, so does Barry Soetoro.

[dadfly]

i hope there’s someplace where you can see him and he can see you for a good long time.

[onyx]

You’re right about both of those worthless demoinc-rats.

The coward is NOT meeting the public. He’s taking a pre-arranged, useless tour. For him, it’s a nothing-burger pit-stop.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Happy Saint Valentine’s Day FReepers! :)

[RebelTXRose]

can’t believe they named a whole town that! los banos

[BenLurkin]

No tilde.

[RedMDer]

Not a smidgen of balls.

If you’re involved in the Tea Party, 9/12, or ANY other grassroots groups, the new IRS rules will make it ILLEGAL for you to:

Mention a candidate up for re-election within 60 days of an election. That includes every single member of the House of Representatives – you won’t be able petition your own representatives.
Register voters.
Call for the election or defeat of a political candidate.
Hold candidate forums so voters can decide who would best represent them.

FYI: Obama proposing a billion dollar fund re: climate change as an additional program. (Drudge). I’m on the run today but Cloward and Piven train is still rollin’.
