National Emergency! Obama’s Vacation Plans In Jeopardy Because of Ukraine Crisis…
Stay strong, America, we will get through this. It will be tough and everyone will have to sacrifice, but America can handle this.
Vladimir Putin has put President Barack Obama’s vacation plans on hold.
Obama is headed to Coral Reef High School in the southern part of Miami, Fla., on Friday for an event about education and the economy that first lady Michelle Obama had been expected to attend as well. What hadn’t been known was that Obama’s daughters were planning to come with them, and that the four were going to extend the trip for a brief family getaway.
Now, the White House tells POLITICO that he’s reconsidering.
“The president had planned to stay in South Florida with his family for the remainder of the weekend,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. “However, it is possible the president may return to the White House on Friday as events unfold in Ukraine.”
Obama isn’t expected to head to Kiev or anywhere else if the weekend in Florida gets scrapped, but more likely have a repeat of last weekend, which he spent in briefings and on the phone with foreign leaders after Putin began moving troops into Crimea.

An update. Shocking I know, but Obama will still take his vacation to the Florida Keys. World events will never be bad enough evidently to stop Barry from taking a vacation. How blessed are we to have such a hard working President looking out for us.
