South American trip is over early for POTUS

Fox News reports:

With the situation escalating in Libya, President Obama scrapped Wednesday’s his public schedule. He was expected to visit the San Andres Mayan Ruins and meet with US Embassy staff. But instead, he will now spend the entire day at the American Embassy, where he is expected to participate in at least one conference call on Libya before returning to Washington a few hours ahead of schedule.

Those internal polling numbers must have been awful, because that’s what this cancellation was all about.  Plain and simple.
