When his majesty arrives? That’s got to be the best kept secret around.

I definitely have the premonition that nothing good for us citizens will come out of this extended meeting behind closed doors.

i lived in DC while much younger in a hood with all fed workers. my dad was a USDA economist. no matter how bad you think government is, it is much worse. my father despised his own work. that we have ceded every part of our lives to governments speaks very badly of the human race.

I must admit that I didn’t understand what all goes into a presidential visit until all this coverage of Obama’s visit. Now that I have an inkling, I’m of the strong opinion that US presidents should stay home a lot more and invite other leaders to DC. I would like to see the total cost for Obama’s weekend in Costa Rica. Maybe I’m way off, but the cost has to be in the tens of millions of dollars. This is an awful lot to spend on a one-day meeting. Worse, it is affecting Costa Rica businesses, and is thus likely to stimulate resentment against the US. I realize that the guy can’t take Spirit air and rent a regular hotel room, but it’s ridiculous how big and costly a production this is.

I heard that 2 Lockheed C-5 Galaxies arrived, unloaded, and departed, and there are 3 Blackhawks in the Vigilancia Aereo’s hangers. Glad that I don’t live near the Intercontinental Real hotel or in downtown SJ. Anyone know when Air Force One arrives?

Please don’t make this partisan. They all do it Dem. & Rep. They should catch up with the 20th century and try conference calling or video conferencing. Things will only change for the working class. Get worse that is!!
