Obama golfs, attends NCAA game, has private movie viewing, hosts Egg Roll, and more sequester fun

President Obama's Easter week was dedicated to sports, entertainment, and travel. During this time, Mr. Obama played a round of golf, attended an NCAA basketball playoff game, hosted a movie crew, shot some hoops at the Easter Egg Roll, and was interviewed by two spanish television stations.

He did, however, spend a few hours to attending the official duties of a President of the United States. In this capacity, Mr. Obama received 3 daily briefings, met with his senior advisers twice, had lunch with Vice President Biden, welcomed 5 foreign dignitaries to the White House, met with Jack Lew, Chuck Hagel, John Kerry, and swore in a new Secret Service Director.

Mr. Obama also flew to Miami Florida, and spent the afternoon touring Port facilities and speaking about "Rebuilding America". As a backdrop, he spoke on a pier laced with Chinese built cranes. The White House covered the Chinese logos with American flags in order to hide the fact that these were all foreign built. However, as fate would have it, the flags fell off during the speech and the Chinese logos were revealed (WH Covers Chinese Logos with American Flags for Obama Speech Backdrop).

On the gun control front, Mr. Obama made another speech about the need for gun control in America. However, after targeted killings of a District Attorney and his wife, and two other prosecutors in Texas and Colorado, both President Obama and VP Biden remain silent on these violent attacks. Instead, they continue to pursue "gun control" measures that would limit and prevent U.S. law abiding citizens from legally obtaining firearms, a right granted to we citizens by our Constitution. Hopefully, the guns used by the assassins in these horrific murders were not among those distributed by the Obama and Holder Fast and Furious program (Texas Slaying First Time in History Wife of U.S. Prosecutor Has Been Targeted).

The majority of President Obama's time was spent on his own personal entertainment. Today, he is hosting the movie"42" cast and crew including Harrison Ford and director Brian Helgeland for a private screening of the movie.

Even though the White House Tours are still closed, Mr. Obama hosted the annual Easter Egg Roll yesterday. Among the special guests and celebrities that he brought to the White House were: Washington Wizards, Easter Bunny, NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, Minnesota Viking Adrian Peterson, Academy Award-nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis and Elmo, Abby, Gordon and Rosita from Sesame Street, Jordin Sparks, Austin Mahone, Coco Jones, The Wanted, Jessica Sanchez, the full cast of Super Sprowtz (See: The politics of the Easter Egg roll and Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You: The 2013 White House Easter Egg Roll).

Sequester means ending White House Tours, limiting National Archives hours, going to concerts, and planning birthday parties and vacations

The sequester is having a major affect on President Obama this past week. He restrained from bashing the Republicans this week and instead, he had dinner with a group of them, hosted two for lunch, and made a telephone call to another.

But, the President is caving into the pressures from the sequester as well. First, he halted the Tours of the White House. Then today, he announced he is limiting the National Archives hours of operation.  He believes both of these actions will help to reduce federal spending by eliminating waste.

On the official Presidential front, Mr. Obama received 5 daily briefings, met with his senior advisers twice, was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos, met with a Sultan, met with the Senate Democratic Caucus, and met with various Arab American groups.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Obama continued her Let's Move! binge. She went to George Washington University and attended a summit, spoke to winners of one of her contests, and held a Twitter Q&A session.

The highlight for her, though, was attending a concert group by Sweet Honey last Thursday night. She treated her mother, Vallerie Jarrett, Eric Holder's wife, and 6 others.

The White House also announced: that plans for the Obama vacation in Martha's Vineyard were beginning to take shape; and that Mrs. Obama's star studded 50th Birthday Party at the White House is also being planned. No expense will be spared.

These are certainly 2 important reasons why we must keep the public out of the White House.

Lastly, the White House Staff announced that the 2013 Easter Egg Roll will be held this year. Besides the Easter egg hunt, there will be various cooking demonstrations, bands playing, and other entertainment!
