President Obama is in Phoenix Thursday, and his motorcade drove past that city’s Veterans Affairs hospital without stopping. Politico‘s White House correspondent reports:

Obama is speaking at Central High School, about a mile from the VA hospital, about his domestic agenda for the new year. The White House confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD earlier in the week that the president would not be visiting the hospital during his trip to Phoenix.
Dovere of Politico also reported that the president did have time to stop at a nearby home purchased with federal assistance:
