Obama’s Indonesia Trip Timing Questioned

At first blush, I looked at the headline of this story (Timing of Obama Indonesia Trip Questioned) and thought "come on, give me a break. Presidents go on international trips. Lighten up." Then I read the substance, and, while I do not really question the timing (seriously, does it matter if Obama is here or not? He has mostly been a distant figure, pontificating, badgering, and insulting private companies and citizens the whole time). I do question the trip itself...

Interesting.

Does anyone posting here recall some of the weird posts over the past several months, from someone claiming to be Indonesian, that Obama’s school application at the Indonesian school would have had to include his birth certificate? I believe the posts I saw most recently were on Apuzzo’s blog. No one ever responded to him(her), but I recall him giving directions to the address where the school was located back at the time Obama would have been there, not its location today.

This sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theory, but it is interesting that the timing of Obama’s trip is not good in the world of health care reform, and we all know that things have been heating up on the birth certificate issue. And the folks in Indonesia don’t seem too happy with Obama these days…

Reminds us of the trip to Hawaii. And Hillary’s trip to Kenya.

Welcome to the twilight zone.

or a really expensive spring break trip on taxpayer dollar.

[glorgau]

Yep, this is real “Angels & Demons” and “ Da Vinci Code” stuff.

[NMEwithin]

I would rather Barry NOT be in this country...so who cares if he goes or not. Will it make a difference?

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Do they want him over there either?

[PLD]

Ask the Buildibergs where Obama’s records are they must have a copy after all he is their Puppet..This moron has no reason to go to Indonesia except to waste more money on fuel going there..I am sure his mentors told him that he will get to ride in the big old plane that goes with the job if he liked so he took the job (Sarcasm or truth)..Now we have to pay for all of his vacations...pathetic bunch of dumb idiots..

The sad part is what can we do about all the spending him and the Amazon woman does..Until we vote the other morons out of office he has freedom to spend as much money as he wishes..and we can't even impeach him..

[lacrew]

I feel a bow coming on.

[NavyCanDo]

This guy just cannot stand being stuck in D.C. The most traveled President in American history should of chosen another line of work, say a cruise ship activities-director.

[null and void]

Fox is reporting that he’s canceled the trip.

[geologist]

WOW! No end of expensive holidays or dates with Michelle.

Trips to France, England, to shop, New York, to see a play, and have dinner, Maratha’s vineyard, paying thousands of dollars a day, for a mansion, Hawaii ... twice, and of course Copenhagen and China, Saudi Arabia, etc.

They have spent millions and millions on these trips, planes, secret service, personnel, chef’s, etc.

WOW! and double WOW!! and this is just over a year and a half.

God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen..

[patlin]

There is detailed info at Apuzzo’s blog in the comments section of the March 4 article.

[gussiefinknottle]

this is actually one reason i think he wanted to be president,
freebies for rest of life. and to destroy middle america.

[cameraeye]

At least he will miss Milad an-Nabi - Birthday of muhammad. Now he’ll have to stay home and celebrate. Who do you think will be on that guest list?

[mendedheart]

BO is delaying his trip by a few days . So he can help shove the health bill & twist arms.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Well, he’ll (they’ll) have a good alibi if anyone goes missing.

He never does anything that isn’t necessary to get his way.

[geologist]

Tooo sad, but true. He has no compunction to limit himself in any way. True royalty. If it was another President it would be expected, he would receive quite a bit of negative press, regarding such extravagance, in the face of so many unemployed, etc.

I did not embarrass her. It is simply a 'get all you can attitude'. Pervasive in some quarters.

[kyright]

Yes, it does look like Obama has postponed his Indonesian “vacation,” to make sure Health care reform passes.

He’s just trying to save more taxpayer money, by making it a more efficient trip:

He’ll stop by Indonesia to give them the keys to NASA, on his way to China, to give them the keys to what’s left of America.

I do remember Hillary going to Indonesia on one of her FIRST trips as Sec/State.
