The Presidential Planner
EmailFrom Sunlen Miller:
Back from his week-long trip in Asia, President Obama starts his week refocusing on the domestic agenda with an event focusing on “initiatives designed to boost science, technology, and mathematics education,” in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Later Obama is scheduled to hold a full cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House, and afterwards will meet separately with Secretary of State Clinton Hillary Clinton.
In the evening, the president will present the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Awards in an East Room ceremony. The award was created to honor those around the world who have made a significant contributions to human rights in their country.
This year’s winner is Magodonga Mahlangu, co-founder of the organization, Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) — an acronym that is a Ndebele word meaning “come forward.” The organization, which has a countrywide membership of more than 70,000, was formed in 2003 and focuses on empowering female leadership in community and encouraging women to stand up for their rights and freedoms in Zimbabwe.
First lady Michelle Obama is scheduled to attend the east Room awards ceremony as well.

Better he should hold a meeting with senate members of the democratic party and have them read the health care bill so they dont look so stupid when they go on T.V. and cant answer questions about the bill they voted for.

“initiatives designed to boost science, technology, and mathematics education,”
Everything except for what he should be doing.

Democratic administrations historically produce more jobs than Republican administrations.
“On average, that is a rate of 2.8 percent job growth for Democrats, and 1.1 percent for Republicans. The top four were Democrats, and the bottom four were Republicans.”
