Obama: 'Looks Like I'm Going to Be Spending New Year's Here in D.C.' Daniel Halper December 31, 2012 2:12 PM
President Barack Obama tipped his hand today during a speech at the White House ... about how he plans to spend this New Year's Eve.
"Democrats and Republicans in Congress have to get this done," Obama said, according to a rush transcript, referencing the ongoing "fiscal cliff" talks. "But they're not there yet. They are close, but they're not there yet. And one thing we can count on with respect to this Congress is that if there is even one second left before you have to do what you're supposed to do, they will use that last second."
Obama then veered into his New Year's Eve plans. "So as of this point, it looks like I'm going to be spending New Year's here in D.C.," he said. "You all are going to be hanging out in D.C. too."
"I can come to your house? Is that what you said?" the president said, playing off the friendly White House audience. "I don't want to spoil the party. But the -- the people who are with me here today, the people who are watching at home, they need our leaders in Congress to succeed. They need us -- they need us to all stay focused on them, not on politics, not on, you know, special interests. They need to be focused on families, students, grandmas, you know, folks who are out there working really, really hard, and are just looking for a fair shot."
Trust me, I did everything I could think to do to get the miserable bastard out of DC.
Boo hoo, Obama. No Hawaii golfing for you.
*snicker*... :-)
My heart bleeds. Living in the White Hut, all that home brew and 24/7 room service. Oh yeh, a bowling alley, pool, movie theatre and if you get bored just hop on marine One and scoot over to Camp David.
Whiner. There are all kinds of people who aren’t on vacation tonight in Hawaii at someone else’s expense.
Man up, you selfish sissy.
Muzzies celebrate new years?
