Man I'm getting sick and f'ing tired of Obama did this, said this, didn't do that, crap.

Every damn news site, every forum, television broadcast, newspaper, can't go 10 minutes in any day without hearing about Obama and how he's pissin someone off.

I wish Neal would make one thread, and if it has the word Obama in it, stuff all that crap in one place and clean up the clutter.

/rant off

I also tire of the medias constant gushing and genuflecting and "tingleys running up their leg".

...So I guess this is a bad time to start a new thread regarding obama's fashion faux paux's then?

I'll bet the First Lady's inaugural wardrobe cost more than Sarah Palins campaign wardrobe did but all we get is puff pieces about it?

Biased media? Naw, not in this country...

I will at some point, but it is better if everyone who is tired of these kind of threads refrain from posting anything at all in them. Then they will go away.

Neal waits to see if any Obama thread lovers post after him....:hmm:

Snopes doesn't have anything on this either way at the time.

If it was true, wouldn't this be all over the news? Wouldn't Fox news be having fits and seizures over it?

It's a bit hard to believe that we'd find out about this from an email a week after the fact.

Edit:
For what it's worth, this guy confirms, and he has some pretty good quotes. According to him, it was mostly a logistical / security issue; Joe Biden did show up.

Should also note that the prez did attend the Commander-in-Chief ball, which was military-centric.

See what you can find out when you research for ten minutes?

Also, I agree with MothBalls
