President Barack Obama said on Thursday he is shifting his focus to domestic priorities from a tense period during which he sought congressional approval to use military force against Syria for its suspected use of chemical weapons.

"Even as we have been spending a lot of time on the Syria issue and making sure that international attention is focused on the horrible tragedy that occurred there, it is still important to recognize that we've got a lot more stuff to do here in this government," the president said before a meeting with his Cabinet at the White House.

The president cited the budget, immigration, and implementation of his signature healthcare legislation as concerns he is turning to.

Too bad. The undocumented Tyrant will destroy more Laws
(making them moot for some, onerous for others, all
at the Tyrant’s Whim), destroy more Americans,
and bring in more Islamic terrorists.

Biden cancels Panama trip to focus on Syria

9/12/13 12:01 PM EDT

Vice President Joe Biden has cancelled a stop in Panama next week so that he can spend more time in Washington working on the White House’s efforts on Syria, his office said Thursday.

Biden will still stop Monday in Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., to talk about port infrastructure. Late Thursday and on Friday, he’ll be in Mexico to meet with President Enrique Peña Nieto and to launch the U.S.-Mexico High Level Economic Dialogue.

Also still on his schedule: His trip Sunday to Iowa for Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry, a major Democratic political event in the state.

Since the BP oil spill I’ve noticed that at some point in every story surrounding the White House, at some point they call a halt to all questions and coverage by the media. Everyone (except FOX) complies and the story is officially over. That’s it. Gone.

Another “pivot.” Let’s not get “pivot” confused with “going in circles.”
