No there there, but here's where : Obama fund-raises in New York City, Eats BBQ in Austin TX, and Plays Golf

During the past week, President Obama received 3 daily briefings, and met once with Secretaries Hagel and Lew. He also met with UK Prime Minister Cameron, electric utility CEOs, and Asia Pacific leaders. Altogether, he spent approximately 8 hours of the week attending to official business.

Much of the remaining portion of Mr. Obama's time was free. However, he did spend two days on the road and one day golfing. First he flew to Austin Texas to deliver remarks. Next, he flew to New York City and dedicated the day to Democratic fundraising events. Also, he hosted a dinner at the Jefferson Hotel for select Democratic House leaders.

Because Mr. Obama spends so little time tending to U.S. affairs, it is little wonder that he insists that he knows nothing about the IRS targeting conservative groups or about Benghazi.
