Craig's flight had to circle the airport before landing in Chicago due
Air Force One landing Sunday, and
then on Monday his flight was ready to take off and had to leave the tarmac
so President Obama's flight could depart first.
It made his arrival time in Portland completely off schedule. Isn't there a closer airport to
Maryland than Chicago? Maybe the president also stopped in Chicago.
"Obama
makes rare campaign trail appearance, people leave early"
UPPER
MARLBORO Md. (Reuters) - President Barack Obama made a rare appearance on the
campaign trail on Sunday with a rally to support the Democratic candidate for
governor in Maryland, but early departures of crowd members while he spoke
underscored his continuing unpopularity.
With
approval levels hovering around record lows, Obama has spent most of his
campaign-related efforts this year raising money for struggling Democrats, who
risk losing control of the U.S. Senate in the Nov. 4 midterm election.
Most
candidates from his party have been wary of appearing with him during their
election races because of his sagging popularity.
Not so
Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown of Maryland, who is running for governor, and
Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois, who is running for re-election. Obama plans to
appear at an event for Quinn later in the evening.
"You've got
to vote," Obama repeated over and over at a rally for Brown in Upper
Marlboro, Maryland, near Washington.
