as usual, totally missing the point.
We're at war, no plan for Afhanistan and the President is going to lobby for the Olympics in his home state. Which, UNDENIABLY will benefit the people that supported his political rise. The first time EVER a president has done this. So, instead of responding as Obots, think....how would you feel if your 19yr old was in the back of a hummer riding through some town outside of Kabul??? Its about priorities.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all

I would think that one reason they are fighting for is for us to have the freedom to hold the olympics here.And past presidents have also lobbied for having the olympics here Obama was the first to go and do it in person.I guess he figured its better to talk to people face to face to try and get them held here than to hide behind his desk and send a letter.

Your right. We're constantly hearing how our soldiers are fighting over there so we can lead normal lives here. The pres. takes a day off to help promote something for his home town and the losers moan about his taking a day off when we just had a pres. who took months worth of vacation days each year (I know but but Bush). worse then double standards.
