Two weekends ago, President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle headed to Asheville, NC for a little R&R, but this weekend he made up double time for that by flying to two different parts of the country for two very different reasons.
First stop was Ann Arbor, Michigan to give the graduation commencement speech at the University of Michigan and to accept an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Too bad the most he saw of the place was the stadium and Detroit Metro Airport. Do you know who gave the commencement address at our college graduation? Studs Terkel. While Studs was a great man, he didn't jet-set nearly as much as Obama does.

After a quick jet back to DC to attend Saturday night's White House Correspondents Dinner, Barack put on his serious face and hopped Air Force One down to Louisiana for a flyover tour of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
To cap it all off—and to complete the roller coaster of emotions that Obama must go through—he's due in New Jersey on Wednesday for Cinco de Mayo.
It's just too bad he can't collect frequent flyer miles as President.
