Did anyone see David Broder on one of the news shows Sunday morning. I don't remember which one. He actually said that it was terrible that the President "disappeared" during such a traumatic week. HUH? The media knew where he was; knew where to find him! I heard stuff about him on the news the entire week! The fact that he didn't run to the cameras every time something bad happened in Iraq didn't mean he wasn't paying attention, but that's what the old addlebrain was trying to make the viewers think!
Technology is a wonderful thing. It means the President can do his job ANYWHERE he is, be it Crawford TX or Washington DC.
