After a weekend of campaigning in four states President Obama will spend Election eve behind-closed-doors at the White House today.

[Sir Napsalot]

I would pay good money to know what’s up at the 11:00 am meeting.

[maine yankee]

So who gonna go out and scoop the poop ?

No matter, Obama still needs to emerge on Wed to face the nation.

Bwahahaha...

[ilovesarah2012]

Well, he knows he has nothing to celebrate.

After a weekend of campaigning in four states watching the wonderful sustained cheering reception of GHWB and GWB throwing out the first pitch at the fourth game of the World Series in Arlington last night in front of 40,000 plus fans with millions of national and world wide TV viewers watching, President Obama will spend Election eve behind-closed-doors at the White House today checking on Expedia and other travel sites for Nov 1st flights to India.

BTW, I've wondered what the Secret Service is supposed to do when they observe a President engaging in actual criminal activity. Does anyone know?

Pretty sure they ignore it. They did when the Bush daughters got caught drinking underage. The book "In the President's Secret Service" made it sound like the SS agents were just a few seats away from the Bush girls when they were confronted and asked for ID.

Hope barry is stocked up on Menthols and Anti-depressant pills it’s going to be a LONG night for Democrats...with a bad ending.

[Lazlo in PA]

What happened to his jaunt to DE? Thought that was a done deal?

[Fresh Wind]

It could be a bad night for ashtrays and lamps in the White House too.

I hope India grants them Asylum

Liked that one!

Yeah, the foreign occupier is laying low. They're planing the next act of the horror show. The Executive Order Nightmare. I'm sure of it.

That's what a hate America SOB would do.

The Rats are shovel-ready for the dust bin of history.

His first meeting is at 9:45am and his last is at 11:00am?
Very busy schedule - Is he going to Walk the Dog afterward?

The rest is a clean slate
November 2nd will be the start of America’s Clean Slate.

[Mobties]

He could always play golf. From what I hear, he’s such a lousy golfer that playing at night wouldn’t make much difference.

[mojito]

Yes, it's been a stunning success for the anointed one. His last 48 hours on the campaign trail have witnessed several embarrassing episodes - half-full rallies, hecklers, wino begging the motorcade - so his handlers have pulled him. No public appearances as the boy-king licks his wounds. Then, jetting off to Indonesia, where he'll pray in a mosque, as he abandons his party in the aftermath of the work electoral shellacking in American history, in an election widely understood to be a referendum on his presidency. That ought to do wonders for the old approval ratings.

[BobP]

Is that my former Mayor? Crackhead Berry?

Lowest of the low.

"Pretty sure they ignore it. They did when the Bush daughters got caught drinking underage. The book "In the President's Secret Service" made it sound like the SS agents were just a few seats away from the Bush girls when they were confronted and asked for ID."

I imagine there must be some sort of a line. Maybe they ignore misdemeanors? How about felonies? Capital crimes? Would they stand by and just watch? Somehow, I doubt it.

How about hard drugs?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Take it like a man, Obowma!

[AFreeBird]

The SS’s job is to protect the President - whomever that might be. So it would seem to me thAt in order for them to do that effectively, that they would have to have the trust of the person they are protecting.

Is there a line that can be crossed that would prompt them to report crimes?

I would like to think so. But what that line might be, they aren’t saying.

He will spend the night watching the returns and clicking his "Ruby Slippers" together and saying over and over:

There's no place like Home... There's no place like home...

[RedWhiteBlue]

This reminds me of Jimmy Carter, when he stayed holed up in the Whitehouse while Americans were being held hostage in Iran, and refusing to light the Christmas tree.
