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!

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.

International affairs occupy Obama's schedule while the U.S. economy continues to struggle

Mr. Obama's agenda for the past week was primarily dedicated to meeting with the G8 leaders at Camp David and attending the NATO Summit in Chicago from Friday through Monday.

Obama's Celebrity Week with the 1%'ers - "Livin' La Vida Loca"

The past week was dedicated to supporting the LGBT community, partying at celebrity fundraisers in LA and NYC, greeting a women's men's soccer team, speaking at college commencements, hosting dinners, appearing on The View, hosting another concert at the White House, and attending 5 fundraising gala events.


Noticeably absent from the President's schedule was any attention or time dedicated to performing the job he was elected to do as President. He did meet with his senior advisers once, had 2 daily briefings, met with Geithner twice, and Panetta once. Other than that, Mr. Obama had no involvement in the leadership of this great country, which is rather sad.

Instead of trying to get this economy healthy or getting people back to work, the President continued to stubbornly avoid participating in any working relationship with Congress.

It appears his complete focus is on his re-election campaign. We understand the importance of this to Mr. Obama because the winning Presidency for a second term would allow him to continue his lavish lifestyle which is funded by the taxpayers of the United States.

Correction: we first published this article indicating that Mr. Obama met with a women's soccer team. Our apologies - this was a first class Men's Soccer Team.
