Obama To Avoid The Rabble On S.F. Visit Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
The White House's fear of protests from Code Pink and other left-wingers has put the brakes on President Obama making any public appearances during his visit to San Francisco this week.
Obama is scheduled to parachute into Liberalville on Thursday afternoon and pick up a cool $2 million for the Democratic Party at a fundraiser at the St. Francis Hotel - then spend the night, before checking out early the next morning and heading to Houston for a community service forum hosted by former President George H.W. Bush.
The St. Francis event is about all the public will see of him here. Concerns about big and loud protests over the war in Afghanistan, the prohibition on open gays and lesbians in the military and other issues have squelched any thought of a trip to a local school or high-tech manufacturing plant that often accompanies such visits, said a source involved in the planning.
"You're always sensitive about having your San Francisco moment here," said former White House spinmeister Chris Lehane.

LOL, San FranFreako is so nuts even the leftist “president” is afraid to show his face there?? LMAO! Gawd, give the place to North Korea already.
Well, the California Legislature and Arnie have taken care of that problem - there's no more manufacturing here anymore in the once-great Golden State!!!
Ugh & Ugh.
The other kind of bitter clingers?
No head shop visits in the Haight?
I had a “San Francisco moment†once, but regained my sanity shortly thereafter.
Worth reading the whole thing for the comedy. Especially the comment at the end by that fellow who told Arnie to kiss his *ss.
Then there’s the one about Al Gore and the gay transvestite.
Michelle should go so she can keep a leash on Ohomo.
He will be in temptation alley.
$2M from a state that has to issue iou’s to pay contractors instead of cashy money because they’re so in debt? I’m sure they’re going to expect some play for that pay...
I thought he already had his “San Francisco moment” when he called us “bitter clingers” and all that...
“...and heading to Houston for a community service forum hosted by former President George H.W. Bush.” Texans need a heads up on this. Would you please “ping” them?
Or the Japanese. They would surely would be able to get the crazies under control and then turn it into something productive.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I view with horror there are Americans deeper into fascism than THE ONE. I wonder if another “Night of the Long Knives” is on the Obama agenda.
And you say we don’t need a revolution.
H.W. ping!
Please let me fold the 'chute!
He’ll only appear on TV where nobody can talk back or ask questions.
