Shutdown or no, Obama's Asia trip is still a go
Washington Times ^ | 9/29/13 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 09/29/2013 7:29:02 PM PDT by Nachum

With the prospects growing of a government shutdown on Tuesday, the White House said Thursday that President Obama has no intention of postponing a week-long trip to Asia that begins Oct. 6.

“Our schedule remains as planned,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

He said one of the president’s jobs is to ensure that promising economic markets “are exploited” for the benefit of Americans.

“That’s one of his responsibilities. He’s going to fulfill it,” Mr. Carney said.

The president will visit Indonesia, where he grew up as a boy, and the Philippines as part of a trip that will include attendance at an economic summit. The flying time alone on Air Force One will cost millions of dollars, at a time when the government could be temporarily out of money.

Are you kidding? They’re already on AirFarce1, strapped in in their own window seat. Obama’s back at the Oval Office getting his balls washed.

Oh? I didn’t know that Reggie was back in town.

There is enough money to send him overseas but not enough to bring him back.

OMG I loved them. I remember as a kid watching them. Planning to someday get the dvd. These shows are no longer shown on TV.

Not if the government employee’s shut down. That would be funny. What’s he going to do — walk?

Thanks Nachum.

Hey, get off his back, there is Jihad to be planned!

Why would mac daddy miss a tax payer pleasure trip, $100,000,000.00, when there is a possibility of a shut down looming?

Oh wait he has his trained mindless sock puppet to clean up the mess he has caused, besides he it beneath his own self importance to be bothered by such minor problems when they affect his wasting of the tax payers money.

They used to give him a halo. Now he looks like Napoleon, the little emperor. It fits.

Why wouldn’t it be a go? The debt ceiling was surpassed four months ago, but that didn’t stop Obama from taking more money from the Fed and spending it. Why will October 1 be any different?

If he goes on a trip when DC is shut down them the GOP has won. Juxtapose pictures of Obama feasting while DC offices are empty.

We might see harry Reid cave on this one.
The party can’t successfully explain Obama’s
asian trip with the government shut down.
This is why the pressure was on the Repubs
to come up with something acceptable.

I pray that his Asian trip is “one way,” with the plane coming back empty.
