Yeah, nothing like scheduling these photo ops on the same day when economic numbers are released...urging the sycophant media to use those "Aw shucks, we're so honored to be here" sound bites instead of the hard cold truth.
You have your orders, media. Now comply.

Obama and Calipari in the same room! I would be checking out the weather forecast to see if there was going to be thunderstorms and lighting strikes.

Cal is a liberal. No doubt about that. I know he donates to both sides. But he leans lib.

Maybe he can convince Obama to be a “one and done”.

Cal goes to Mass twice a day! Keeps the confessional booth hot, or however that works.
