Why is President Obama's schedule being posted. Did we have this level of access to the daily activities of previous Presidents? Do we really care about or understand "journalistese" (e.g., Open Press, Travel Pool etc...)
I appreciate the info. I recently stumbled on Lynn Sweet's info like this and I enjoy seeing what the President is doing on a daily basis. You can't find this type of info at www.whitehouse.gov. Frankly, I could have cared less what Bush did. I had a countdown clock on my desktop to see how many days until we got rid of this guy.
