Sheesh. All he had hoped for was an invite, not an all expense paid trip.
He wanted to present the medals to Phelps.
I think the limelight should be totally and only on Phelps.
Then he could have made the reservations himself. No one prevented him from going. Oh, then he’d have to send out his own press releases in order to get publicity. Reminds me of Obama. No, wait, he wanted to present Phelps with his medals. Reminds me of Clinton.
