From Michael Goodwin in today's NY Post:
"IF you still doubt President Obama is trying to do too many things and is giving short shrift to the most important ones, consider this pathetic scene at the Copenhagen airport. It was Friday, and the president went to Denmark to make his pitch for the Chicago Olympics.
Before Air Force One took off for home, Obama met with Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Our commander in Afghanistan was summoned from London and got 25 minutes of face time with the commander-in-chief.
That's it -- 25 minutes on the plane for the man Obama picked to lead 68,000 troops and rescue a war he calls one of "necessity." Compare that to the 14 hours or so Obama wasted flying and speaking about the Olympics, and you get a snapshot of a president off course.
Not incidentally, that was the same day the unemployment rate climbed to 9.8 percent, the highest since 1983, as employers shed 283,000 more jobs in September.
Barack Obama, phone home. (cont.)"
President is AWOL as our commander
You must have been reading my mind Miss Didi!
I was just thinking about what tremendous PR The Joker has gotten from 25 minutes on a plane with Gen. McChrystal after ignoring him and the war for months.
This is one thing we need to learn from the Dems,the art of getting more out of less in the PR wars..
And did you see the picture? A few guitars and a couple of cats, and it could have been my living room, for a meeting with a General? Come on Øcarter, have you no respect?
