POTUS Schedule – February 23, 2011

We do not expect to see or hear too much from President Obama today as most of his schedule is closed to coverage from the press. We will see him on the White House South Lawn as he boards Marine One to fly to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland to visit with wounded warriors and their families.

Libya is sure to be a top topic on the agenda when the president meets with Secretary Clinton in the Oval Office later this afternoon. According to the State Department, there are several thousand U.S. citizens in Libya – most are dual-nationals. The U.S. government has chartered a ferry to evacuate American citizens from Libya today.
