The highlight of the past two weeks is that President Obama remained in the Washington DC area. He spent much of his time working the the 2013 Budget, attacking religious freedom by trying to force Catholics to create moral sins, ignoring Syria, and degrading Republicans. He has also refrained from speaking about Fast and Furious or why he and Holder have failed to proceed with Guantanamo trials. Nor did President Obama explain to the country why he must increase the national debt by $1.6 trillion dollars and how that jeopardizes our economic stability.However, during these 14 days, he has only attended 3 campaign events and VP Biden attended 3 as well. The White House travel tasks were delegated to both Michelle Obama and VP Biden who were jetting across the country pretending not to be campaigning as they spoke at various affairs. Here's a look at the trio's major activities during this period.
