Where is coverage of president Obama's visit to Osawatomie Kansas?

[geckosfeet]

I see lots of hype about before the visit - but no coverage of the actual visit or speech.

[MadMaddie]

1. The MSM is too busy covering Bachman, Newt and hair guy

They don't have time to cover a sitting president....

Remember this, the 3 pieces of shit noted above will say this week that President Obama should spend more time with Americans......hearing what they have to say

2. It'll be Tuesday.

The Obama Diary will keep close tabs and is always on top of it with pix and video.

The MSM is worthless - the WH press pool who was WITH POTUS in Asia kept talking about the GOP candidates. :puke:

6. So Obama speaks on Tuesday? Sorry - thought it was today.

[Pirate Smile]

3. It doesn't happen until Tuesday. Lots of local coverage is normal for before but national

coverage will probably not happen until Tuesday unless some stations or people decide to preview it by talking about Teddy Roosevelt's speech there - I can see Rachel doing that.

7. I think President Obama still has family members in Kansas,

doesn't he? Maybe he'll come through earlier to meet with some relatives during the holiday saeson.........

8. None that I've ever heard of.

Obama has a great-uncle, (Charles Payne, 84) that he is close to

10. I thought he still had people in Kansas. I stand corrected. Thanks.

12. I found 'ONE' - but he is not a very close relative

Wolf, a practicing diagnostic radiologist in Kansas, is Obama's second cousin, once removed. He and Obama share a great-great-grandfather, Thomas Creekmore McCurry.

13. You were right the first time.

The president does indeed have relatives in Kansas.

14. Margaret McCurry Wolf is the mother of the doctor that I posted about in comment #12

From your link

SNIP

Something about the McCurry family and a woman named Ruth, Obama began, tentative. She "was my grandfather's aunt, right? My grandmother's first cousin? . . . We're going through my family tree, trying to figure it all out."

The Illinois senator never got it quite right, but Margaret McCurry Wolf of Hutchinson, Kan. -- looking extremely proud and a little bit flustered -- was willing to explain their bond to anyone who asked.

"His grandmother is my first cousin," said Wolf, who had switched her voter registration from Republican to Democrat a month ago so she could caucus for Obama on Feb. 5. "I want him to make it so bad. I pray daily for him."

And from the link I posted above

SNIP

Dr. Milton Wolf, son of Margaret McCurry Wolf and the late Dr. Curtis Wolf, on Thursday published a column in the Washington Times stating his opposition to a health care reform proposal supported by President Barack Obama, to whom Wolf is related.

He will be featured on Fox and Friends' Friday segment, which airs at 5 a.m. central time, to discuss his view.

Fox and Friends says this about Wolf's appearance: "He's a doctor, the president's cousin and completely disagrees with Democrats' health care plan. He joins us to explain."

Anyway, they are distant cousins.
Obama didn't even know about them until after he was running for president and I'm sure he doesn't have much at all in common with them. I can't imagine him attending a family reunion - since both the mother and son sound like they are republicans, and Obama doesn't really know them :)

9. copters in KC

There were lots of military helicopters flying around Johnson county today, probably checking out the route to Osawatamie.

11. He needs a few days to get all of the black helicopters in place ...

so he can confiscate all the guns ... and then there are all of the FEMA work camps to set up ... then he has to find gay OBGYNs who will perform the unwanted abortions ... and he has to print up thousands of Korans .... fly in Hollywood folks to sing show tunes ...

The logistics are very complex!!!!
