In between soirees, President Obama vows to cut off funding for the troops even as top General says they could be sent to Libya

Is this the schedule of a man worried about anything?

I have a busier damn schedule on the weekends -- and I'm a nobody!

Oh, but the President did have time for another fancy dinner party last night with master race-baiter Al Sharpton.

Amid desperate budget negotiations and a looming government shutdown, President Barack Obama came to New York City last night to speak at the twentieth-anniversary party for Al Sharpton's National Action Network. At the gala, Obama focused on the issue of education inequality, but only after palling around with Sharpton, teasing him for getting skinny ("But he hasn't lost his style.") and giving him "a rousing slap on the back," according to the New York Post. Then Obama got serious, speaking about his student loan reform. "Only a few years ago I was still paying off my student loans," said Obama. "It's true, I don't pump gas now, but I remember what it was like pumping gas. I remember!"

Later, Obama said he remembers "the end of the month. I remember that." He added, "We appreciate you all buying the book, Michelle and I. That's the college fund right there. That was not a given." His humility tends to be convincing, but he did make over $5 million in 2009...

Is this a man worried about a government shutdown, or coming up with a budget, or even working on plans to reduce unemployment? Eh, that was a rhetorical question.

As for the troops?

The White House blasted the GOP's Continuing Resolution (CR) designed to fund the troops until the end of the fiscal year.

The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 1363, making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes. As the President stated on April 5, 2011, if negotiations are making significant progress, the Administration would support a short-term, clean Continuing Resolution to allow for enactment of a final bill.

In other words, for this president, the troops come last. They are just another political chit to be used to advance the radical Left's agenda.

Oh, and one more bit of good news: "General: U.S. may consider troops in Libya."

This was not the change you were promised, drones.
