President Obama is campaigning in Ohio today. He says, "Slowly, but surely, we are moving in the right direction. The economy is getter stronger" LMAO!!! Why doesn't he just RECORD HIMSELF and have them play the tape on a loud speaker for these "30" possible campaign contributors. It would sure SAVE US ALOT of money for the cost of flying everywhere on AIR FORCE ONE!
Let's see, he was in Los Angeles, CA on Monday caused MAJOR traffic jams during rush hour. Then in Seattle, WA on Tuesday caused a sonic boom scare when a float plane violated the airspace around Air Force One. Today he is in Ohio. Yeah, he is a poster child for hypocrisy like Al Gore preaching Global Warming and Climate Change! "Do as I say NOT as I do." attitude!!! Yes, Nero indeed!!!
My friend Russ said, "He's on that plane nearly EVERY DAY! And it's NOT just THAT plane - he has to have security advance people go ahead of him, security people WITH him, more planes, a cargo plane to carry the bullet proof vehicles, food and lodging and vehicles for all of 'em and on and on it goes into the millions every week......."

The massive traffic jam that resulted from President Obama's motorcade and speech Monday night in Hancock Park is prompting calls for an investigation from some residents, who say they were caught in traffic for hours.
Obama was only in L.A. for a few hours, but his presence caused numerous streets to be blocked off. [Updated at 11:05 a.m.: Obama left Los Angeles in Air Force One about 9 a.m. Tuesday.]
Residents reported that commutes and errands that typically took minutes turned into hours-long ordeals. One particular complaint was that streets remained blocked for hours -- even when Obama was inside TV producer John Wells' Hancock Park home at a fund-raiser.
"What has occurred is way beyond reasonable and can only be described as negligent," L.A. resident Kevin McCarthy said in an e-mail to The Times. "If it isn't my story, currently evolving, of beginning my 1 mile journey home at 5pm and at 7:50pm now being 3 miles from home with no viable idea of how to get closer, it should be about the two sirens-wailing ambulances I have witnessed stuck in this unnecessary gridlock."

Mysterious sonic booms that startled residents around Seattle were caused when a float plane violated the airspace around Air Force One while President Barack Obama was visiting Washington.
The military scrambled fighter jets, and the two sonic booms from the Air National Guard F-15s startled many people throughout the Puget Sound area.
The Cessna 180 float plane was flying to a seaplane base on Lake Washington, next to Seattle, from Lake Chelan, in eastern Washington, said Laura Joseph, a passenger on the plane from Normandy Park. She told The Associated Press that neither she nor the pilot, Lee Daily, knew about Mr Obama's visit or the air restrictions that accompany such a high-profile trip.

President Barack Obama, at a summit of sorts in an Ohio family's backyard, sought to reassure citizens Wednesday that the economy is on track and that his administration's legislative victories will benefit voters.
"Slowly, but surely, we are moving in the right direction. We're on the right track. The economy is getting stronger," Mr. Obama said at the beginning of a question-and-answer session with Columbus, Ohio, residents at the home of Rhonda and Joe Weithman.
The summit comes as a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows American citizens have their dimmest view yet of how Obama is handling the economy. It also comes a few months ahead of midterm elections, in which the economy is expected to play a vital role in whether Democrats hold onto their majority in Congress.
The 30 or so Ohio residents who gathered in the backyard of the Weithman family asked Mr. Obama about a host of economic and controversial topics, such as the stability of Social Security, effects of the health-care legislation and consequences of Wall Street overhaul. It was a mostly friendly crowd.
