    Claiming that he was in his office, or in bed, or something when they briefed him that it had occured (rather than reading that goat book to the kids.)
    Surely he didn't actually try to do this.

    The whole fucking country saw that shit on the news.

    If this is true, I have no doubt in my mind he'd defend it saying that the winners write the history books.

    He says he was driving along the coast. Unfortunately, the coastal road in BA is only a couple miles long, and not entirely scenic. The next place to view the coast is either A) 4 miles away by car or B) several hours away by boat in 50F weather.

    I TOTALLY BELIEVE THIS STORY.

    wait, were people actually saying that?

    the only complaint I heard was that Obama was setting too high a standard for date night (also, occupation. Every woman asks husband "Why can't YOU be president, like that Barry guy?")



    The complaint you mentioned is ABSURD. Clearly, by taking a large, expensive night on the town, Obama IS solving the economic crisis.

    Government spending will set us free.

    I think they were also complaining that Obama was spending thousands of "government dollars" on his date night.

    We need to find these people, and beat them about the head with some basic economics text books. I doubt that they can read very well, so we must depend on osmosis to inform them.

    The date night was one of the items they've been throwing on the "obvs Obama doesn't really care about fixing the economy/whatever, since he's been so busy doing....", along with "going to eat at local restaurants from time to time," "meeting with world leaders (overseas)," "having musicians/poets/etc at the White House," and so on.

    ABC’s Joe Goldman reports that a US embassy official in Buenos Aires tells him that the embassy had “absolutely no idea” that Sanford was in Argentina. The embassy official added that this comes "from out of left field -- it would be extremely odd that a US governor would not check in with the embassy."
