A Presidents Burden of a Heavy Schedule (violins please)



Aide: Mr. President, the governor of Arizona would like to meet with you next week.

POTUS: (Damn!), uh, what's on my schedule next week?

Aide: Well, your last day of vacation is Monday and then,

Tuesday, return to Washington and meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Peru President Alan Garcia at the White House

Wednesday, meeting with Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, before heading to an event in Pittsburgh and hosting a concert at the White House to honor Paul McCartney

Thursday, speak at Secretary Clinton's reception for a new partnership between U.S. and India.

Friday, welcome the Major League Soccer men's championship team, Real Salt Lake, to the White House.

POTUS: tell her there's no room in the schedule, don't call me I'll call her.

Aide: Very good Mr. President

A President's time is very valuable, so prioritize, prioritize, prioritize.

So sorry Arizona........
