Mr. Obama tours Asia as Michelle is entertained by Aretha

During the past week, President Obama has had only one daily briefing. That was last Wednesday. Since then, he spent one day meeting with business leaders, civic leaders, and congressmen promising all to raise taxes. Plus, he flew to New York City and toured the damage inflicted by Hurricane Sandy. However, the highlight of the week was his conducting a 4 day trip to Asia and visiting Thailand, Burma, and Cambodia. 

He was joined on this trip with Hillary Clinton, but surprisingly, his wife Michelle stayed back in the U.S. After reading that Mrs. Obama attended an Aretha Franklin concert on Saturday with Eric Holder, we assume that Mrs. Clinton switched places with Mrs. Obama because the President wants the Secretary of State out of the country so that she cannot be questioned on Benghazi.

Unfortunately, the President's trip was marred by the interruption of the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Hamas. But, Mr. Obama found time to continue his bowing to leaders of other nations, promising to give them much of our US Tax dollars, and mispronouncing their names.

Below is a summary of President Obama's official schedule during the week of Wednesday November 14 through Tuesday November 20, 2012.
