I noted below that Obama’s campaign schedule has him traveling, almost exclusively, to college campuses. He’s got a much busier schedule this coming week — even aside from Wednesday night’s taping with Jay Leno — so we’ll be able to see if the pattern continues:

Obama will campaign in Iowa on Wednesday, then hit Colorado, Nevada, Florida and Virginia, cast his ballot early in his home town of Chicago, then stop in Ohio to end the tour.

“As the President crisscrosses the nation, he will spend time on Air Force One calling undecided voters, rallying National Team Leaders and volunteers and continuously engaging with Americans,” his campaign said in a statement.

Obama usually comes back to Washington after one-day campaign trips, or stays in hotels on longer visits, but on this tour he will overnight on the presidential jet between Las Vegas and Tampa to save time for campaign appearances.

I wonder if Obama LIES when he is sleeping? I know that if he is awake, he’s lying.

It’s been commented on that these types of contrived activities are those of politicians who know they are abut to get smoked.

If I were an enemy of America and having read this piece, I would plan mischief on late Friday, possibly Saturday. The worn out and anxious President will screw up in response.

“How do we know the DNC is paying for his campaign transportation. AF1 costs a pretty penny and this guy is using it as his private campaign jet.”

We will never know if the DNC or the Obama campaign is paying for the use of AF1, but we need to make sure the campaign does pick-up the tab and pass a law prohibiting presidents from using AF1 for campaign related travel.

REPORT FROM CAMPUS:

My oldest granddaughter goes to college in Missouri. She reports a huge wave of apathy among college students on campus regarding Obama. The kids are concerned with getting jobs, not voting for The Kenyan. It is the faculty that are in bug-eyed panic about Obama's ever more likely defeat.

Why is he casting a ballot in Chicago? Isn’t his “home” in D.C.?
