I thought Michelle and the girls were going because it was to be a trip for showing the kids his childhood in Indonesia.
I'm not surprised that he's done this. Last night on Hannity(?) one of the talking heads said the reason Obama wants this passed by the 18th is that he was leaving the country for 10 days....BUT that Congress was going to be off and
back home with their constituents for 2WEEKS.....and that the administration is afraid that the fence sitters will fall on the side of "NO" voting after being around the people who elected them.
Which they probably would.
Now he's going to stay and continue to run all over the country pushing health care.
Shoot...he needs to go to Indonesia.
It would be cheaper for the taxpayers in multiple ways.
