This is an example of hope and change.
They hoped to see him and he changed his mind.
Of course, anyone who thinks that babies are punishment, wouldn’t think much more of 5 year olds. OF COURSE, the famous footballs heroes are more important.
The other thing is, do they really schedule stuff so close that a few minutes would make that much difference? I do like the idea that the kids could have met both the president and the football players. But then again, who do you think the kids would be more impressed with meeting?
While I understand the points you and others are making, no where in the article does it say they were scheduled to MEET the President, let alone the Steelers, just they had a scheduled group tour for which they were late.
I feel for the kids I really do, but stuff happens and there is just way too much blame being thrown around on this thread.
My child would have been happy to meet the Steelers. But she wouldn’t be going on any trip to the White House or anytime in the future either. Not until 0 is gone. He has made it impossible for me to take a vacation this year. And although DC is a day trip I am not wasting my time going there. I just can’t see myself enjoying a trip to Wash DC right now.
