When was this article written, and when was the meeting held? When I click on the link there is no date on the article and the picture of the magazine shows Nov 2011. Just wondering if this is fairly recent. I know the idea has been tossed around since he was elected.
I believe you are correct, the article appears to be dated Nov 2011 - a full year ago.
I went to the website, right clicked, selected “View Page Source”, searched for a date, and the only date I found was Nov 2011.
