For President Obama and the people of Las Vegas it truly was a presidential version of Groundhog Day yesterday (minus Ned Ryerson).
Just like the movie where Bill Murray wakes up every morning only to find he must relive February 2 day after day after day (after day), President Obama has found himself in a bit of a time loop.

On the evening of Tuesday, November 24 a young couple from Virginia made their way into one of the most secure events in the country, President Obama’s state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Monmohan Singh and his wife at the White House. Like the other 300 plus invited guests, Tareq and Michaele Salahi went through multiple layers of Secret Service security, took photos with Chief of Staff Rom Emanuel and mingled with Vice President Biden and other invited guests. The problem is that the Salahi’s were not invited to the dinner.
The federal budget proposal that President Obama will send to Congress today (Feb. 1) includes $25 billion in emergency aid for states, even as it freezes other domestic spending.
