Why is our government having this discussion? Weve got homeless. Weve got unemployed. Weve got muzzies cutting off heads. Weve got $20+ trillion in debt.
Simple, it is called deflection.
Well, I have to say in my sixty-something years on this Earth, it has to be the silliest and most trivial issue the President, who holds what is arguably the most powerful office in the world, has gotten involved in and seems to be pursuing with the tenacity of a bulldog. If only he would focus that same energy on more important issues (drowning debt, millions leaving the workforce, shrinking middle class, for starters), he might actually earn the tens of millions (including travel costs and security) we pay him every year.
Yep, pols need the distraction.
