Evening Schedule - not posted but wasn’t he in Vegas for a fundraiser?
One more question:
Is this schedule archived from September 11th, or “edited” at a later date?
There had to be reporters following him on that day which was important enough to get him to the Pentagon and to Walter Reed/Bethesda. Reporters had to see him return to the White House if he helicoptered back to meet with Panetta and Biden.
What a coincidence! If those three men had a scheduled 5pm meeting as the attack was underway. They were very close to the Situation Room!
I also wonder how often a meeting with the SecDef is on Obama’s calendar? And at the cocktail hour?
