Second time he's canceled this trip. Good thing there's nothing important going on in the Korean peninsula.

Tomorrow we'll see Matthews and all the others folks have been saying have "turned" on Obama saying "He gets it. Here is a president who LISTENS and isn't afraid to say, 'hey, I was wrong, let's get to work fixing this thing.' A refreshing thing after eight years of..." blah blah blah.

All the libs who "turned" on him will praise him and be able to say "It's not like I've been uncritical of Obama the way Rush Limbaugh is of Republicans..." (doesn't matter that that's not true)"...didn't you hear when I said...."

This guy is clueless. He’s still on the campaign trail. He doesn’t have a leadership cell in his body. He must have needed to hire a nanny to potty train his kids. Oh, I forgot...he was out community organizing on the streets about that time. He wouldn’t know how to clean up after the dog.

I just posted the timeline of 0bama’s response to the oil spill to my Facebook page and then 0bama goes and cancels his trip! I guess he can’t add anything else to that timeline. It already looks pretty bad. Hey Jude!

Hey now! Obama's needs to work on his singing and clapping "Hey Jude" skills!

Don't you realize how important schmoozing with Hollywood celebs is during international and environmental crises?!?

How can we be sure it's due to the BP oil spill?

There's Blago, Sestak and now the guy in Colorado, little nuisances that may require his immediate attention.

Well, there were no hostile world leaders handy.

I don’t know why Obama canceled but I do know it’s got NOTHING to do with the spill. Tonight CNN tried for two hours to contact BP, the Coast Guard, the White House ANYONE to get information on the top hat fix that BP is right now attempting. Nobody home, NOT ONE DAMN WORD from ANYONE on the status of top hat. Everyone it seems had gone home to bed except the hands on the rig who have not slept in three weeks. This administration is COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT!

He must not have really wanted to go there then. He didn’t cancel with Bono or Paul McCartney.

He’s nothing but a poser ... an empty suit with empty slogans and logos from David Axelrod.

Did they pick Hey Jude because 0bama could remember the lyrics without a telepromter. Give him something real easy like na, na, na, nana, nana na na, yeah, that is the ticket!

Hey Jude!


That’s good!

This guy is toast. He’s basically a Dead/Lame Duck after 15 months. And I don’t think the Health Care crap has much of a chance of being implemented....at least on time. They’ve already missed some deadlines on that.
