EXCERPT

The White House says Obama has changed his plans for Friday and will return to Washington late in the evening after fundraisers in Rhode Island and New York. He had planned to spend the night in New York. Presidential aides say the change in plans was not related to any current events and was the president's personal choice.

Obama will spend Saturday morning in Washington, then return to New York later in the day for the wedding of his personal chef Sam Kass and MSNBC host Alex Wagner.

Well just as a fact check. Sam the chef is a boy and Alex Wagner is a girl. Alex is short for Alexandra.

So he is actually attending a traditional wedding, for what it is worth.

All he cares about is social issues, changing how this country looks, and fund raising.

He has no idea what so ever.

The timing of this is suspicious. Since this is Labor Day weekend I wouldn’t be surprised if he signs the amnesty EO. He’ll give a Rose Garden presser and frame it as a way to help “undocumented workers” come out of the shadows. The lapdog media will be more than happy to make the Labor Day/”undocumented workers” theme work for for their boss.

Take note.
His personal chef is marrying an msnbc host? msnbc will now be even closer to the white hut. Maybe they can also give them the Lincoln bedroom to use as an office.

I thought he interrupted his vacation to go to this wedding. How many times is the guy getting married?

He looks awful. Like he’s aged 20 years since Spring.
Awfully stressed for a guy who’s spent all summer on the golf course.

"Obama will spend Saturday morning in Washington, then return to New York later in the day for the wedding of his personal chef Sam Kass and MSNBC host Alex Wagner."

He and the Mooch have been invited to George Clooney's wedding which is supposed to take place at his Italian villa next month. Any bets they'll go?

Thanks for clarifying. I also assumed Alex was a dude.

Obama interrupted his vacation to go to a bachelors party for chef Sam. It was mentioned that is was a gay bachelor party...

He needs all the big screen HDTVs in the White House for the first Saturday of college football season. Several good matchups.

He’s not just a failure in his professional life, he also hangs out with the likes of Alex Wagner of MSNBC. Pitiful.

not buyin it, Reggie could easily join him in NYC

this strange extravagant and wasteful return seems very odd

UK just raised their terror threat to SEVERE which is like DEFCON 1

maybe NYC should “close” for tonight

Mrs Clooney-to-be is strange Mr Wikileak Julian Assange’s defense lawyer

Maybe Obama will give her a “get out jail free” card and a ticket to Qatar for Julian as a wedding present

just shows that one man can ruin a great nation even if he only works part-time and votes “present” at that!

wiki:

Alex Wagner was born and raised in Washington, D.C., attended Woodrow Wilson High School,[2] and graduated from Brown University in 1999.[3][1] Her mother, Tin Swe Thant, was a U.S. immigrant from Rangoon, Myanmar, is also American through marriage.[1] Her father, Carl Wagner, is from Iowa and of German and Irish descent, and is a prominent Democratic Party political consultant who co-chaired Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign.[4]

(snip)

Political views[edit]
She has described herself as progressive[11] and believes that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution should be repealed.[12] On matters involving Israel, she believes that there is an element of “trepidation that inhibits a robust discussion about Israel in the American media” due to fears of being labeled an anti-Semite.[13]
