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.

HOORAY, SIGNS THE END IS NEAR (updated---feel free to add your own signposts)

(1) On March 18, 2011 Rachel Rose Hartman of Yahoo! News reported: "The Barack H. Obama Elementary School in Asbury Park, NJ will be shuttered this summer, largely due to low enrollment."

(2) Ohaha resorting to this means B-i-g trouble for the maoist.

"When I wake in the morning, I wait on the Lord, and I ask Him to give me the strength to do right by our country and its people," Obama said. "And when I go to bed at night, I wait on the Lord, and I ask Him to forgive me my sins, and look after my family and the American people, and make me an instrument of His will." more at Wash/Ex.com

LAST YEAR'S OFFICIAL DNC POSTER

THIS YEAR'S OFFICIAL DNC POSTER



"Voters, Obama is baptized in the fire of faith."
"Obama's been saved. Thank you, Jesus."
"Voters, let's hear an Alleluia and an Amen."

(3) THIS SAYS A LOT Obama's recent Boston fundraiser started out as a $5,000 a plate then dropped to $500 a plate ... but he still could not fill the room——ended up talking to a little over 100 people. Ohaha's between a rock and a hard place. In a word----l-o-s-e-r.

(4) Wisconsin (with other states following) has got the Dems scared big time. A key provision of Walker's WI law is not just to eviscerate unions' bargaining power but ALSO the state's obligation to collect union dues out of employee's paychecks---(most of which goes to Dem campaigns).

(5) The libs are paranoid that Obama did not join them in WI as he promised he would during the campaign. He couldn't go----B/C he couldn't appear to side with violent union workers intent on keeping collective bargaining "rights" ...rights Ohaha's army of federal employees do not have.The Elite Turn Against Obama

(6) The Daily Beast | July 7, 2010 Lloyd Grove on the president's waning support among the intelligentsia: You’d think the well-heeled and enlightened eggheads at the Aspen Ideas Festival would be receptive to an intellectually ambitious president with big ideas.......even be seen as Obama’s natural base. Apparently not so. More at thedailybeast.com ...

(7) Takes a family holiday in Latin America as Japan and Libya erupt, gas prices hike, and the US economy sinks.

(8) His handling of the Libya crisis is prompting criticism that Obama is turning America from the world's leader into a mere follower - a country all too ready and willing to take orders from even the French.

(9) Obama may hasten his return to Washington as the US-led military strike against Libya increasingly distracts from his Latin America trip.

Obama was greeted w/ protests in Brazil. They were protesting Moochelle's ugly gilded potato sack from a Chicago boutique. (/snix).

She's a size 6 top and 42 bottom.

BTW, the AP is now reporting Obama will leave a few hours early tomorrow. Big deal.

...the White House disclosed he would return home a few hours ahead of schedule on Wednesday.
