Did Obama Return To DC For A Photo Op?
President Obama eyes a tee shot while vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard.
President Obama took a break from his Martha’s Vineyard vacation to return to Washington, DC for a few meetings. According to the Daily Caller, the meetings he is having could have been held anywhere. So why did he go back? Could it be that he just wanted some pictures out there making it look like he has a clue?
In the morning, “the President and Vice President will meet with members of the National Security Council to receive an update on Iraq,” says the schedule.
“In the afternoon, the President will meet with Attorney General Holder to receive an update on the situation in Ferguson, Missouri,” the schedule continues.
Media photographers will be allowed to photograph both meetings, said the statement.
That’s unusual. Most of Obama’s meetings are not mentioned on the schedule. The press is excluded from many, which are photographed just by Pete Souza, the White House’s in-house photographer.
He also could have held both meetings at his vacation spot. But the media coverage of his White House meetings will produce more reassuring images for domestic and international audiences.
Also, the schedule leaves plenty of time in the afternoon for Obama to make one of his characteristic short-notice and brief statements. Obama rarely invites or answers questions at those short-notice events. (Read More)
His return trip will cost us taxpayers around half a million dollars or so. All of that for a photo op?
