Hillary calls for President Bush to Nix Going to Olympics in China… but he, apparently, is set on going anyway. Given that today he meets with sports figures from a winning team in the US, and last week pitched the baseball at an opener, it would seem it’s easier to get a hearing with the Prez if you were born athletic and winning, than if you were just a gaggle of a few million citizens losing jobs and homes.
I have never quite understood the ceremonial calenders of presidents. I read the recent book on Ronald Regan’s diaries, and it seemed most of every day was not spent in conversation, strategizing, learning, teaching, but in accepting a set of golden teacups from this mogul, and a casque of rubies from that sultan, and with girl scouts and shriners and athlete meetings all in between.
Frankly, forget the tax returns for nominees for election 08. I’d like to see the last five years of Senators Obama, Clinton and McCain’s official and personal calenders. THAT would tell us more than tax returns, ever would
Hillary’s calling on the Prez to quit China, is likely to show up Obama who may have called the war right, but she’ll not be letting him call anything else regarding moral outrage, early.
Calling on the President to cancel his presence at the Olympics also draws a contrast between Senator Clinton and John McCain, who thus far, ain’t saying nuttin’.
