Obama May Cut Short Latin America Trip
LA Times via WPMT Fox43 ^ | Tuesday, March 22, 2011 | Peter Nicholas and Michael A. Memoli

Reporting from San Salvador and Washington— President Obama may hasten his return to Washington as the U.S.-led military strike against Libya increasingly distracts from his Latin America trip.

As Air Force One touched down in El Salvador on Tuesday afternoon, the White House announced changes to the president's itinerary. A visit planned for Wednesday to the Metropolitan Cathedral in San Salvador, where slain Archbishop Oscar Romero is buried, was shifted to Tuesday. Obama was also scheduled Wednesday to tour Mayan ruins one hour outside the capital city, but it is now unclear whether he would do so.

Obama is set to hold a bilateral meeting with President Mauricio Funes of El Salvador on Tuesday, followed by a joint news conference. Funes hosts the president and first lady for an official dinner Tuesday night. Obama was scheduled to return to Washington on Wednesday evening.

He is cutting the trip 2 hours early.

Seems like a media manipulation for headlines like this article, to push back on criticism.

When he’s away on his multitude of vacations there is always a hope he can’t come back.

And why does he he always come back when he thinks we suck so bad?

That’s the mystery.

Note the bow legs. LOL.

Yup, I notice that every time. Barry and Moochelle are out of their league when it comes to fashion and decency. Their dam vacationing on our dime is really pissing me off.

Obama May Cut Short Latin America Trip

Oh, gee, darn. Have only a little less than 21 months left to the election, guess I'll have to make some sort of effort to appear presidential. After I win in 2012 it will be parties, vacations, golf, the good times will be in fast forward.

He did manage to chop off a whole two hours.

The other question is whether Moochelle, Big mama, and the kids will return with him.

Or will we have to pay for another flight a few days from now?

I flipped o’reilly on during a commercial just for a minute to get his take and sure enough, there he was giving obama a cheerleading boost. Thought the situation wasn’t thay serious and wouldn’t hurt him.

Had to give up watching O.R. and Hannity.
Every now and gain I will flick over during AD’s and just 30 secs of him makes me sick. Crying to get a interview with obama, then acting like he is the lordship when he gets it.
I have no clue why anyone watches this man at all.

O.R is a complete tool who has no clue what is going on.

He has missed the mark on obama so many times and then puts down anyone who tries to question him

Hannity can’t even mention conservative social issues and when we needed a voice over the don’t ask bill he stayed silent and then states he is for the troops, no way is he.

Both of them are phony’s and are

She’s wearing a halter top????? Just trash, that’s all I can say. Guess she thinks she’s 19 years old.

No doubt, I remember when Hillary was always flitting off to Europe for the weekend with Chelsea in tow to go shopping. And on Air Force Two, no less, while Bubba was hanging bac in Washington. No wonder Gore was dying to be president. One jet for him, the other for his wife. Let the VP take the “lowly” 737 for what he needs, nobody cares where he goes or what he does.

But Bush was always somehow giving his buddies freebies and making them rich, although no liberal could ever explain how. With Bush, it just WAS.
