I suppose getting upset isn't the right thing to do. I just don't know how these are the people leading us, and the people don't even seem to care.
Blind leading the blind. Soon as he is elected he goes on a tour. We are screwed. What a bullshitter

I would agree with you if he was the only president ever to go on tour.
The problem is not that he's doing it; it's when he's doing it.
Anyways, I guess some don't really care if our country goes further down the drain. I thought this article was interesting. I don't know anything about the author, so feel free to call him a conservative pawn, Damage. :chuckles:
I think the blip about France is the first time it's been posted here. Pretty interesting.
He sure as shit better be. But, I thought that was already assumed. One doesn't go overseas because being there in person means you care about it a lot more, and it puts a lot more pressure on Congress to get it done.How do you know that he is not communicating with people to work on the fiscal cliff deal? Just because he is over seas does not mean everything comes to a halt.

Obama's presidency has been... quizzical, I guess would be the world. It's impossible for me to understand his thought process and methodology. That said, there's nothing he can do to put "more pressure" on congress to come out with some budget plan. They are all grown ups and know what's at stake. Hell, as divisive as Obama's presidency has been, perhaps the best way to ensure a bipartisan membership is to get the hell out of the country.
That must be it. Maybe I'm starting to see the light.
Honestly what I think it is is that he realizes that he's in a position of strength. He just got re-elected campaigning on tax raises for the wealthy, he has a mandate. The other thing is I don't think a lot of Dems view the fiscal cliff as that bad of a scenario. All it really means is a return to the Clinton tax rates. If that happens they just pass some bills lowering rates for the middle and lower classes. I'm not saying going over the cliff is a good idea by any means, I'm just saying I don't think the Dems view it as negatively as the GOP.
The Republicans have to worry about re-election, Obama does not.
