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.

I’m willing to cut Grandma and Mama Kaye a break. If they didn’t go along, there would be some high-priced nanny to watch the girls while the O’s partay.

(I know, I know...they have Secret Service watching over them, but it’s comforting for the girls to have their Granny along.)

Who’s country are they honoring while covering their “hearts”?!? Are their hosts playing OUR song??

Someone post the pic of the sissy-boy with his hands at his side while others honor the flag of the United States of America.

Bastard faggot. Stay there.

Just figured it out. Our President is the love child of Randall Flagg and Winnie Mandela.

Ok, doesn’t she have blue shoes? So why would she wear the green ones with the blue dress? And she has the boob belt back - the prizefighter one - as she climbs up to the plane.

I hear that someone in one of his basketball brackets stubbed a big toe. This might impact his basketball predictions.

This is the cause of this presidential emergency -- big toe stubbed by important basketball player in his basketball brackets.

Where leader of one of the most powerful nations on earth has his priorities...

The AF-1 pilots (military, I’m sure) ought to tell Obama they got orders to report immediately to Tripoli, to deliver Obama for a tete-a-tete with Kadaffi to resolve the Libyan war personally. Meanwhile, Michelle & co. can visit all the wonderful sights, especially the recent changes in landscaping ...visit with all the locals ...maybe even learn how to wear a burka. Later, they can travel to Cairo, as well as Yemen and Bahrain.

Should he decide to return to the USA (maybe Omar can convince him Libya is a great place to live) Congress shall deduct the cost of his unilateral Libyan war directly from this year’s White House budget. Also, remove all his czars - immediately, no notice, no pension, no promise of no jailtime - since it has become apparent that he is getting bad counsel and is listening to the wrong people. He needs to listen to the elected reps of the legal citizens.

Obama is now creating crises, and blowing way too much money, way too fast. He’s simply out of control and must be stopped. Let’s all pray; then call our Congressmen and Senators.

(Wouldn’t it be great to enforce a no-fly zone around the USA for AF-1 until it makes this detour?)

His base (government workers, union workers, welfare recipients, illegal’s, terrorists, communists, etc.) will never abandon him.

However his actions on Gitmo, Iraq and now Libya are not helping him with the far-left anti war base that he had in 08.

I wish a WH reporter would ask Barry, off the cuff, “So how’s the mother-in-law?”

Yeah, LOL. But you know they won’t. Either they’re Obama butt kissers or afraid of him.
