Panic at the Team O: Asia jaunt delayed for Demcare
Michelle Malkin ^ | Mar 12, 2010 | syc1959

Posted on 03/12/2010 7:11:23 AM PST by syc1959

The No-mentum is getting to the White House. News is breaking out all over that President Obama will be delaying his trip to Asia from Thursday to March 21. It’s also being reported that the First Lady and his daughters, who had planned to accompany him, will no longer be traveling with him. Jake Tapper writes:

“The President will delay leaving for Indonesia and Australia – will now leave Sunday – the First Lady and the girls will not be on the trip,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs sent out on twitter this morning.

Gibbs had expressed irritation yesterday with a question during the daily press briefing about this trip being something of a vacation for the family, with Sasha and Malia on spring break.

“It’s not a vacation at all,” he said back to a reporter. Touchy, touchy.

Yep, obama will actually have to apply himself with all his vast experience and knowledge. Campaign and agitate.

Impeachment is a polictical act. No real crime has to have been committed, high crimes and misdemeanors cover a lot of ground.

The fact that the Democrats are refusing to take “no” for an answer while at the same time spending money faster than it can be printed is beginning to get on the nerve of the American people.

In order for an impeachment to work you need the American willing to allow it. This is why Clinton was not impeached out of office. For whatever reason, the majority of Americans were not mad at Clinton and were willing to forgive his transgressions.

President Obama does not have that well of forgiveness to rely on. If Republicans take over Congress this year, and if he continues to rule contrary to the will of the people he could very well be impeached.

If he is impeached I predict he will be convicted and turned out of office.

I would rather this did not happen, but we live in a Republic. The President is not a dictator. Just because he was elected does not mean he can do anything he wants.

Impeachment was set up as the last line of defense against a tyrant.

Defeat Obamacare call list: List now contains the new MAYBES culled from FR posts.
PLEASE CALL! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE State District

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Michelle didn’t like her Indonesian sarong.

She asked Barack The Question, and he got the answer wrong!

(P.S. There is no right answer to that question...)

He has to go “clean up” his record in Indonesia just like he did in Hawaii. Anybody ever wonder why the former Illinois Senator with all his ties to Chicago, flew all the way to Hawaii, months after his mom died, to vacation. Why not the Virgin Islands? They are closer.

Michelle Obama and the kids, can't go to Indonesia.

I've got an idea that will save us taxpayers millions, and Obama's daughters will have more fun: send them to EPCOT for 2-3 days, just like the rest of us do.

Early this morning on one of the news clips, heard that there’ve been several bombings in the area he planned to travel; also threats of demonstrations. Could it be that he may not be welcomed there? It’s easy to cancel and stay home to target us with his healthcare program.
