Obama starting to hit the road to sell economic plan, get a break from White House By BEN FELLER 7:12 PM CST, February 6, 2009 WASHINGTON (AP) — It's time to get out.
Barack Obama, who has spent most of his nascent presidency in the White House compound, is shifting into travel mode.
The rundown: Saturday and Sunday at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland; Monday in Indiana and Tuesday in Florida for economic events; Thursday in Illinois to commemorate Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday; and then Valentine's Day weekend with his wife, Michelle, at home in Chicago.
One motivation is for Obama to break free of the Washington debate and sell his economic plan among the people it is designed to help. The other is for the president simply to get away from the White House, the gated address that has quickly become his office and his family's home.

He has “promised” not to smoke at the White House. Besides, his mother-in-law is there.
What a putz.
When's the next big Muslim holiday? I'm expecting a 'celebratory' terror attack on that date, and I'll take two days afterwards in the pool on the meltdown.
Oh that's mean. But I'm a mean girl, so I love it.
obama goes to Elkhart Indiana because that’s where RV’s are built:-lets see if I’ve got this right:
-RVs are bought by the “rich” who must share their wealth-through higher taxes, and who now may not be able to afford RVs
-RV sales can be “stimulated” by targeted tax breaks to buyers or potential buyers-and there are no such tax breaks in the so called “stimulus” package.
-RV are gas guzzlers-which obama and his lib friends want to see put out of business
-RV sales are dependent upon low or reasonable fuel prices, which we can NOT have because oil exploration and refining is being limited in this country by the enviorweenies and lefties in congess.
Yep, makes good sense for him to promote his stimulus package there.
The Islamic New Year (Muharram) is sometime next month - can't remember the day. While it's a Muslim holiday, they're pretty mellow about this one - at least in Iraq.
Frankly, this is the scenary in the coal mine.
OK, that one could get a little dicey.
And Obammy strives for plenary power.
I'm sure he wants a plenary session in the Senate today for the debate about his economic destruction plan.
Interesting.
Well, I speak Russian. I wonder if they need any good computer developers there? The women are HOT.
I honestly think the American people are more resilient than most realize. I think we're approaching the fed-up point real fast.
All those people know how to do is golf, make restaurant reservations and sip lattes. We know how to do a lot more. We're a tougher breed than they are. And despite the ACORN results, there are more of us than there are of them.
Give me a hug.

I've got a sibling and sibling-in-law there. They finally sold their nice house in Woodbridge and got a condo in Old Town Alexandria to eliminate their long commutes.

We got a secret we can't tell, we can't tell, we can't tell.
We got a secret we can't tell, Haaaa ha haha.
The loss of quality-of-life from Woodbridge to Alexandria is negligible. I'm down in Fredericksburg and the lifestyle difference is worth the even-more-hellish commute. I'd quit my job before I'd move any further North (see tagline).
This is the story from the Pittsburgh Trib today:
“Senate stimulus cuts state deep
The Senate on Tuesday passed an enormous economic stimulus bill that could strip cash-strapped Pennsylvania of $500 million in aid while giving hundreds of billions of dollars to small towns for long-awaited construction projects”(Biden is already back trackking saying that it will pump 16 billion into PA-regardless). I laughed my ass off when I read that headline-that buffoon Rendell was all over TV pushing the “stimulus” package-it’s actually going to cost PA. He’s an idiot.
