And some don't. I'd rather him here, taking care of business, than running to Europe for a party.

Weren't you in on the Bitching Committee when Obama, or Pelosi, or Hillary, or Obama's family...or someone, flew somewhere once, classic?

"How much did THAT cost?" Remember that?

Personally I don't give a shit. I said some people - I found the perspective of a lost opportunity interesting though.

Now run along and go kill a hobo.

I understand that you were pointing that out, but I had to recall the extreme outrage that was expressed back in the beginning when he flew somewhere.

Face it, the man is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

And that you posted half a cellar page of an article, leads me to believe you felt the criticism had some merit. Well, that, and the "guess it wasn't important enough" comment.

The partisan inconsistency that you fail to recognize is so very tiresome. You and merc (and hey, this isn't about who either of you are, I like you both...well enough) fairly barf it all over the politics threads. I could turn my head and not read it, but that's a little too "typical american" even for me.

ps the coppers are on to me, no hobo killin' 'til the smoke clears. gotta lay low.

I really hadn't thought of it as such until I read the articles. I've been a lot distracted lately. After reflection, the only part which was of interest to me or worthy of discussion was the lost opportunity discussion.
After all this time the only response to that was yours, so I guess I was wrong in that as well. Oh well can't bat a 1000 and all that.

Welcome to actually BEING president, Mr. Obama.
