        Current events NO EXCUSE. He’s made trips during slow/no news cycles and the MSM newstainers FAIL to cover him!

          I know. Even on important issues they only cover if the GOP yaps about it in a negative way.

          Just posted a similar comment, upon arriving here tonight. I’m so sick of it. And when they do cover his trips, it’s only the parts where he’s at a presser, responding to some reporter’s question about a RWNJ comment in this country. Sick of it!

      It was a 10 day trip.
      My best guess, Monday.
      I checked the WH Schedule, nothing for Tomorrow yet.
      I Checked with Count Von Knoller and he didn’t have any Tweets yet on Pres Obama’s return date.

      Chips had posted his itinerary on the front page of this thread (Just scroll thru).

      http://theobamadiary.com/2015/11/14/the-week-ahead-43/

      So it looks like he should be back on US soil probably some time on Monday night.

    Thanks so much for this post, NW. If one were to watch cable news shows for information, one would not really know where the President’s traveled to, or traveled from - which is so very annoying! Grrr.

    That said, I shall now catch up with his travels - at TOD!

    I hope lots of people at TOD are watching or taping the concert tonight. It is sensational.
    Started with POTUS Pharrell and Bruce.
    See you later.

      misleading—so correction.
      Opening song Bruce and John legend with Tom Morello doing American Skin/AKA 41 Shots.
      Opening dramatic sequence POTUS and Pharrell in Charleston. Morgan Freeman discussing Amazing Grace—no, POTUS singing not included.
