The pressure had been tremendous, and the President had discovered that real privacy was harder to find than he had ever dreamed possible. The advance crew suggested this area in Glacier National Park, but even there, grizzly bears were a potential problem, though perhaps less of a danger than his political opponents . . .
As it turned out, not everyone was happy with the Presidential Visit to Glacier Park
While taking questions after a Rose Garden speech, the president was asked by the new Washington Post correspondent, “Is it true that every fifth word on your teleprompter is ummm . . .?”
When asked about the problems with the VA and the long wait times for health care, the President responded angrily, surprising even the mainstream media, usually his friends . . .
The White House Press Office and the Secret Service were livid; they had no idea how someone had gotten a camera into the President’s suite in his Hawaiian hotel room that the wags called the Hawaiian White House. Some stinking paparazzi must have bribed a maid, and now, photos of the president getting out of the shower had gone viral on YouTube. Some wondered if it was revenge by Angela Merkel of Germany for the NSA tapping her phone . . .
With Congress and the President at loggerheads over the budget and increasing the debt limit, all of the National Parks had been closed. Did that mean that that Jerome and his crew of Sandhill Crane buddies couldn’t land or feed at the National Migratory Waterfowl Refuge, their usual wintering place? It seemed that until the issue was resolved, all bets were off, and they might have to make reservations at Motel 6; would Tom Bodette still leave the light on for them? . . . . David, Sf.G.
