Apparently His Imperial Majesty Barack Obama must have a private bathroom regardless of the cost…

“8:36 AM — So exactly just how much trouble did the Green Bay School District go to, to meet the demands of the White House in accomodating President Obama’s visit to Green Bay Southwest High School last Thursday? Milwaukee talk show host Mark Belling reported on Friday that:

(1) Obama requested that the floor of Southwest High School’s hardwood basketball floor be covered — in a rug. Southwest administrators were able to find a carpet from another high school.

(2) Southwest High School painted the gym prior to Obama’s visit. Administrators claim that the gym was going to be painted anyway.

(3) Obama requested and was granted a private bathroom at the High School for the purpose of his visit. Southwest administrators apparently renovated a storage room that had at one time been a bathroom solely for Obama’s visit.

I spoke with Green Bay School Superintendent Greg Maass let Saturday afternoon and asked him about each. His answers:

(1) Yes, The White House requested a tarp (not a carpet says Maass) and one was borrowed from the Oconto Falls School District.

(2) One portion of one wall was painted approximately 8 feet up from the floor. Maass says yes this was done at the request of the White House, but contends the wall was due to be painted this summer (Really? a certain portion of the wall was due to be painted a certain color???)

(3) The most explosive contention was one Maass said he knew the least about; that the White House requested a private bathroom for President Obama and that a storage room that previously served as a bathroom was renovated into a private bathroom for the President. Maass said his understanding was the room was “simply cleaned up a bit” but said he really did not know the extent of the work done. Maass said he would work to get all of this information and appear on my show tomorrow morning at 10 am.

I’m going to request to see any paperwork pertaining to this project and request to view the room, take pictures and post them on the web. Much is being made of the cost of this to the school district. It might not be much. I think more interesting is this question: Does President Obama request a private bathroom at every venue he visits? And ditto on the interior decorating requests. I realize all presidential visits are highly choreographed, but Obama seems to send this nonsense to new heights.” Source: AM 1360 WTAQ | wtaq.com

Seriously, folks — it looks like our ‘man of the people’ is really Marie Antoinette reincarnated. First food tasters, now private bathrooms at the expense of a school district that’s bleeding money. Maybe he’s got a serious case of stage fright [men, you KNOW what I mean] or just needed a private place to have a smoke before talking about nationalized healthcare? In any case it looks like the president firmly believes that socialism is good enough for everybody else — President Obama is just another limousine liberal…

Here are the logistics…

“Five shuttles will be provided for people parking at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay to attend President Barack Obama’s town hall-style meeting Thursday at nearby Green Bay Southwest High School.

Ticketed guests can park at two lots on the NWTC campus starting at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the Green Bay School District.

Parking lots D and E on NWTC’s Green Bay campus, 2740 W. Mason St., have been designated for shuttle service, said Casey Fryda, a college spokesman. Those lots are accessible off Country Club Road.

Shuttles will run continuously from 7:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and transport guests back to NWTC after the event is over. At least one of the shuttles will be wheelchair accessible.
People will be going through a security screening before getting on the shuttles and will not be allowed into the parking lots early. They also will have to show their tickets before boarding the bus and at Southwest High School.

Parking is limited at the high school to the north lot, which has about 375 spots, Southwest Principal Bryan Davis said. These spots will be used for disabled or elderly parking needs and will not be available until 7:30 a.m.

Attendees have been encouraged to carpool or use the shuttle service.” Source: Security for Obama visit could top $30,000 | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette
