Oh well, I'm sure Glen Beck is happy. Sad that an entire network spent much of the last week putting their bullshit political agenda in front of national and civic pride.

That's just their way. Priority one: $. Priority 2: political agenda... somewhere down the list of priorities are getting the news out there in a fair way, and concern over how they affect the country.
And, before you fox fans get your panties in a bunch: I think the other networks are the same. About the only news that seems to put getting fairly unbiased news out there as a high priority is BBC.

I couldn't agree more. As far as I'm concerned MSNBC is just as bad as Fox, CNN isn't perfect either. I do like BBC. I used to work a third shift job and would listen to the BBC World Service radio programs during the wee hours of the night. I think they have their biases as well (Specifically during the Israeli Lebanon war a few years back) but I can tell you one thing for sure. I was never more informed about international news and events than I was during those 3 years.

Yes, it is a tragic day for us all. Taking it all into account, millions of dollars for Obamas to travel to Copenhagen (doubled of course because Michelle needed to go a day early), the sacrifice, oh my god, the sacrifice of having to take a trip to lunch with the queen... <sniffle> <sniffle> ... Excuse me, I need a moment to compose myself. We are so fortunate to have leaders like this who will go so far to pay off their campaign supporters and make sure their faces are on tv just about every day. Of course the colossal failure and embarrassment in this endeavor, which in truth is tiny compared to all the failures in foreign policy attempts thus far, may actually bring some humility to this douchebag. Ah yes, the glory that is the "It's all about Obama" administration.

Epic fail

Precisely what I was talking about. People putting their all-consuming hatred of Obama ahead of something that could have been a source of national pride.

Oh, and they took separate flights because Michelle was going with the Chicago delegation, whereas Barack was only making a 1 day trip. Seems a bit petty to bitch about the costs incurred, but it doesn't surprise me either.

Obama was smacked down by his own elitism. Don't blame the Beck for doing his job. If you actually read up on the Chicago story, you will find Obama, cronies, and friends all lined up to make millions while the city of Chicago (who didn't want the games), footing the bill.

The fact that Obama went over there personally is a sign that
A.) He's completely enamored with himself
B.) He thought it was a slam dunk
c.) He is naive and a sloppy politician
D.) He's worn out his welcome in Europe, and elsewhere.
