The beleaguered President is touching down in San Francisco tomorrow - and expected to perform a few perfunctory political duties - before he jets off in Air Force One the following Friday morning.
Essentially, the trip is an over-nighter!
A stiff night cap. Fresh towels. Nourishing breakfast on-the-go courtesy of room service!
And, a plea for big bucks!
Speaking of which - handlers have noted that Mr. Obama is a headline speaker at fundraising events for the Democratic National Committee and a political candidate by the name of Kamala Harris who is running for the office of California Attorney General.
Obama's visit falls in the shadow of a recent poll which rated his job performance as just so-so.
According to pollsters - 49% of the voters disapproved of the job President Obama is apparently "not doing" - while 45% were inclined to give the Commander-in-Chief a nod.
The trip out West is viewed - by many - as a sly attempt to swing public favor in his direction.
If he stalls a lot of traffic over the next couple of days in the picturesque Bay area, it is doubtful he'll be able to bootstrap his image up at all.
The riots he nearly caused in Hancock Park (Los Angeles) over gridlock last summer are a surefire indication of that.
If 'ya don't ask, I won't tell!
San Francisco is a quaint provincial two-wheel town, after all!
Big city slickers are generally frowned upon when they breeze into town with their nose out of joint whack.
In Obama's case, time will tell.
News at 11!
