Obama Delays Hawaii Vacation to Work Phones on START Deal

When I was on the PR&C, as only I can … it was interesting how the faithful there were theorizing why, from Michelle leaving without him to George Bush never did anything like that! Well after all the wuzzies cackling going on, here’s the truth …

First of all, The POTUS is working; that his job. You’d think they would be happy about that, instead of trying to rush home like the GOP.

Second, The Obama's don’t have daddy’s Ranch to vacation on every month, like “W” did.

President Obama has delayed his Christmas vacation in Hawaii while he makes calls Monday to lobby senators to back an arms treaty with Russia that several Senate Republicans say they will not support.

With a wide-open schedule -- the result of his family heading on vacation Saturday without him -- the president is working the phones to try to win support for START, a White House aide said. The aide would not disclose how many phone calls the president was making or to whom.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., took to the floor Monday to announce a schedule that included a procedural vote on the treaty to be taken up on Tuesday. In the meantime, the Senate was to go into closed session to debate the accord and could emerge to vote on a continuing resolution to fund government into March and later in the week a health care bill for Sept. 11 emergency workers.

But with Republican opposition to START delaying its ratification -- possibly into next year -- Reid warned that the clock is ticking.

"Last year we were here up until Christmas Eve, and I hope we don't do that this year for everyone," he said.

Take a look at a AC54ME digressing on Seafives' *President Palin votes no on START* thread ... he qualifies himself as the same GOP loons in Congress ...

He's like Steve Martin in the scene from *The Jerk* as the carnival barker telling the redneck what prizes he will win ... somewhere between the erasers and the ball point pen ..
