Barry's schedule for today

From the White House -- here is Barry's schedule for today:

10:45 am The President and the Vice President receive the Presidential Daily Briefing
12:15 pm The President and the Vice President meet for lunch
1:05 pm The President departs the White House en route Joint Base Andrews
1:20 pm The President departs Joint Base Andrews
2:15 pm The President arrives New York City
4:10 pm The President and the First Lady tape an appearance on �The View�
8:20 pm The President and the First Lady attend a reception for visiting Heads of State and Government

A nice leisurely morning, stroll in for the daily briefing and then hop on AF1 to NYC for a television program. He doesn't have time for Bibi Netanyahu but he has time for those morons on The View. A reception and then spend the night in NYC. Talk about grueling schedule. By reflection, here is Ronald Reagan's schedule for September 24th, 1982 -- thirty years ago to the day:

Finally an easy day. An N.S.C. Planning Group meeting. Subject—Latin America. It’s possible the Soviets will ship “Mig” fighter planes into Nicaragua. George S. Monday will let Gromyko know we’ll take very seriously any overt moves by them or their stooge Cuba toward any part of Latin Am. We have contingency plans leading all the way up to troop involvement if Cuba should send troops to stir the pot in Central Am.

Lunched outside the office on the porch in the sun then went over to the State Dining room to address & take Questions from the assembled editors & publishers of all the Trade magazines. Their 1st time in the W.H. since Truman.

Much of the rest of the day was taken up with seeing 5 of our Ambassadors off & receiving 6 incoming.

Then photos with some of our Sen. candidates & John Palmer & his wife Nancy (she’s with child). He’s leaving the W.H. to anchor the Today Show. Chris Wallace comes here.

Finally an easy day indeed. That is leadership -- what we have in the White House today is ideology and narcissism.
