Obama Skipping Out of WH to Spend a Day With 'Hardworking Mom'
CNSNews. ^ | June 24, 2014 | Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - Apparently because he doesn't get out of the White House enough (?) -- or have enough to do? -- President Obama will travel to Minnesota on Thursday to "spend a day with Rebekah," described by the White House as a "hardworking mom from Minneapolis," who wrote to the president to tell him "how much harder it's become to get ahead and do right by her family."

When the president receives letters like Rebekah's, he "makes notes in the margins, and sits down to reply personally," the White House said.

This time, he's made plans to meet with Rebekah -- on Thursday -- to "spend a day in her shoes."

In fact, this is the first in a series of "day-in-the-life" visits that President Obama plans to make across the country this summer.

With all the pressing issues facing the President of the United States -- foreign (Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine), domestic (invasion of the southern border, Veterans Affairs dysfunction) and political (IRS targeting, NSA spying) -- he will spend a day with Rebekah -- meeting with her family and community members to discuss the issues that matter to them, hosting a town hall, and talking about "the steps we need to take as a country to help more Americans like Rebekah get ahead."

"I know the President is excited to talk with her -- and Americans like her," White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer said in an email announcing the "day-in-the-life" plans on Tuesday.

"So all this summer, he'll meet with folks who've written in to share what their lives are like. He'll be hitting the road and traveling to communities across the country -- sitting around diner booths and kitchen tables to talk about the issues that matter to them."

The visit to Rebekah comes one day after the White House held a day-long summit on "working families," at which the president and other administration officials urged the nation's employers to provide paid family and maternity leave, flex time and other benefits..thats why he is really there..he cares not about thiswoman..just all about what he wants

What a bunch of blarney! He’s such a jerk. How on earth can anyone take him seriously anymore? Just what we need to spend our money on - airplane travel all over the US so he can feel good about himself because he sure ain’t gettin’ the love in DC!! Does anyone believe he’d shut his yap for one second to listen to someone else?

AND I’m still waiting for the wife of the bozo to visit each one of our national parks as she said would become a priority when THEY were reelected!

didn’t we just get treated to his woman telling us, at quite some length, all about how desperately hard SHE “works?”

why does he have to leave the nest to spend time with a “hard-working woman?”

Maybe Obummer can take Rebekah along on one of his many MANY million dollar vactions. Wouldn't that be nice?

I’m going to guess that “Rebekah” is actually a Communist Parry member, or possibly someone with deep connections to ISIS or Iran. Hussein Osama would never spend time with an ordinary American, in large part because there are no ordinary Americans in the Democrat Party.

Hey Obama, you REALLY want to "care" about Rebekah?

Stay home and send her a check for the money it would cost for you to go visit her.

It is actually a fundraiser disguised as caring about ‘working families’. It has been on his schedule for months. Don't fall for Obama’s crap!

Tokenism in place of competence and leadership, or any work ethic whatsoever. SOP for the POSOTUS.

You'd think people would catch on to being used liked this? They have to know on some level but are perfectly okay with it. Meeting a celebrity who pretends to care is more important than self-respect and dignity.

Its so obvious he’s bored to death with being President. Anything to get out of the office and play.
