Biden's Schedule for Monday, February 8, 2021

Last edited Mon Feb 8, 2021, 08:38 AM - Edit history (1)

Back to work. Note the new Factbase address. The old one still works. It rolls over to this one.

I had been thinking of no longer posting of these threads, on the grounds of what's so interesting about someone who gets up in the morning, goes to work, breaks for lunch, goes back to work, stops for the day, has some dinner, and goes to bed?

It turns out that people are reading these, so I guess I'll keep posting them for a while.

Biden is going from Wilmington to DC today, but he won't be taking Amtrak.

Thank you for the hearts.

Is how a REAL president works. This is a return to normal order and that gives me peace of mind.

Thanks for keeping DU informed.

This is a real schedule. Remember for the last few weeks of Trump's term it was the same every day? "The President will work from early in the morning till late in the evening. He will attend many meetings and make many phone calls."

That's called Padding Your Resume (tm).

So great to have a real, working President again.

Trump almost never had anything on his schedule before 8:30, and that was usually just a briefing or Executive Time.

We have a President who thinks the job is important enough to do the job. Such a relief knowing he’s there working hard everyday.

Also gives us a window to occasionally express gratitude for our great new Democratic Administration.

10. Will someone explain to me what all these Pool-Call TImes mean.

I am assuming that the reference to "Pool" means the Press Pool. But what's with all the different categorizations?

Out-of-Town Travel Pool Call Time

In-Town Pool Call Time

Is this the press calling in ?

The White House In-Town Pool

Out-of-Town Travel Pool Coverage


At 9:00 these events are listed but they are over by 9:20.
Pool Call Time
In-Town Pool Call Time
The White House In-Town Pool

If these are just press availability, why not just say that?

Not really all that important, just want to understand.
