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."
Pretty much!
“What?... What?... No he can’t do that to himself.”
I don’t think its “these people” per se, it’s all on behalf of the Narcissist-In-Chief. He’s the thin skinned One.
Dust off your resume Carney.. You’ll need it in a few months.
What was the tweet, I missed it?
Out of one of mac daddies administration plantation slaves doing his lying for him.
Lol, Carney is Obama’s lying bitch. It’s a street thing.
” obviously when you’re president of the United States,”
Is it me or does this guy say this almost everytime he speaks?
Carney’s entire response is essentially, “nuh-uh!”
"The White House says the visit is official business — not campaign-related, although the distinction is not always clear. Obama will speak to troops and have a round-table discussion with service members and military families, the White House said.
LoL!
I was just listening to ABC News on the radio. Romney’s trip had been in the works for days.Gov. Jindal asked him to come down.
#1 priority: bait Obama into losing his temper in public for 15-20 seconds. Election over.
Let Americans get a true measure of this petulant hoodlum.
Unbelievable. Just as he “wasn’t watching” the RNC, only to be caught posting a photo of a chair at 12:30 a.m., every statement they put out is nothing but lies. If EmptyChair had any intention on visiting Louisiana he would have stopped off on his way to Texas.
The only reason he’s now putting it off until Monday is to try to distance the fact that his trip is nothing more than a “Me too” moment.
The Empty Chair is speaking right now. Started with yelling out to the crowd Word Up.
Want to bet he ordered the entire base to appear.
Big deal. Just go down and check the place out. Lousiana got a bunch of money from the federal government and was begging for more. I am sure they will be fine without either of them going. I can’t believe with 16 trillion in debt these two jerks are worried about who gets where first.
“obviously when you’re president of the United States, coordinating travel carries with it I think unique logistical challenges,” Carney said. “
Yeah.
Ordering bubble wrap so the damn chair can be shipped south is hard to do on short notice...
