FORT BLISS, Texas -- President Obama was planning to visit storm-stricken Louisiana before GOP rival Mitt Romney announced his plans, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One Friday morning.
Romney's campaign announced his trip to New Orleans -- he is touring areas hit by Hurricane Isaac this afternoon -- hours before the White House announced Obama would cancel a planned Monday campaign event in Cleveland to divert to Louisiana.
Carney offered no details about where in Louisiana Obama would travel during his Monday trip.
"In terms of the President's travel, obviously when you're president of the United States, coordinating travel carries with it I think unique logistical challenges," Carney said. "And it was the assessment of the president's team, working with all the people involved in operations as well as people on the ground that Monday would be -- was a good day for the president to visit."
Dear Leader has had the oceans flogged ala Xerses.
I predicted both the Dot com implosion and the fall in real estate, I just never announced it.
That whole presidential travel logistics thingy wasn’t good enough for “W” was it?
#1 priority: bait Obama into losing his temper in public for 15-20 seconds. Election over.
I know Obama is a narcissist, but this is really juvenile.
Well, unlike yourself I actually went to school and learned that ‘b-l-a-t-a-n-t’ is the correct spelling so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
What a lying POS p-resident...
Of course, it’s in his nature to lie.
Wash out your mouth with soap.
He’s watching Romney to learn how to be President.
I also understand the Democratic National Convention is adding more featured minorities, and talking about a “mystery guest”. Why don’t they just hire the Republicans to run the convention for them?
Rosie O’Donnell will be their answer to Clint.
They can’t even LIE well. We need an adjective stronger than inept. ;-/
Does the 0bama campaign realize how whiny and small such a statement sounds?
Jay Carney, spokesman for the biggest bunch of babies to ever run a country. Hey, Jay...get off our lawn!
Jay “Shortpants” Carney....one of the most inept liars ever.
Looks like the Romney team is starting to work its way into Barry’s OODA loop . . .
