Mr. Obama celebrates his 100th round of golf, but did not take any illegal immigrants or members of the LGBT community with him

Mr. Obama's official weekly schedule included 1 daily briefing, a lunch with the winners of his re-election campaign contest, 4 fundraising events, the announcement of a decree in which he instructed the Department of Homeland Security to cease obeying the immigration laws, a weekend wedding in Chicago IL, and a 3 day G-20 Summit in Mexico.

Besides appeasing the Latino voters, the President spent nearly 1 day working on the Jewish vote by honoring President Shimon Peres of Israel. He also tried to strengthen the Gay community by hosting a reception for the LGBT community at the White House.

President Obama did celebrate a milestone this Father's Day. He played his 100th round of golf since being elected and living in the White House. Congratulations on this wonderful feat!

Joining the President at the Jarrett wedding in Chicago IL was his family (wife, children, and mother-in-law).  They all flew to the Windy City on Air Force One, and spent the weekend attending various social functions. (Here they are on their way to the wedding).

At the end of Father's Day, the President flew directly to Los Cabos, Mexico. However, he instructed the pilot of the other Air Force One plane to take his wife, children and mother-in-law to Oregon for a few days. As you remember, this is where Michelle's brother lives. While there, she made a brief speech at the University commencement.

Since Mr. Obama was not able to campaign, Vice President Biden picked up the slack. He attended 4 fundraising events and helped to feed the Obama For America campaign with hard earned dollars from the wealthy 1%.
