Barack Obama is merely following precedent by fleeing Washington and big headaches - the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the deteriorating prospects for health care reform, legislation to cool the globe (or should we worry now about warming the globe?), and various "czars" gone wild. He's in Copenhagen with the missus not on the nation's business, but the business of his cronies in Chicago.

The White House thought [it was a bad idea to skip town] last week, when the president's men said it was unlikely that the president would go to Denmark when there was so much rotten here, mostly the health care system, the world's weather and those darn czars who won't behave themselves. The generals in Afghanistan want more troops. Illegal immigrants are trying to get in. The thugs at Guantanamo want out. He would stay here to continue trying to fix things. But then the president decided that the health care debate was "far enough along" that he could spare a day or two to join the first missus in Copenhagen, where he should buy her a funnel cake and treat her to a ride on the Tilt-a-Whirl at Tivoli Gardens. He sounded a lot like saying that health care reform was in the tank, so he might as well take a respite from Dodge.

Waffle, Straddle and Backfill is not the name of a law firm.
It is this now failing nascent obama regime’s strategy when difficult moments come up.
Which they seem to be doing more and more often.
Some days the fellow can’t seem to be able to BUY a clue.
