Snoops says it is true.

Also...This is not a sporting event. He is running for the President of the United States. There is a certain level of patriotism I think most of America expect from a President.

Do I think he is a smart man? Yes
Do I think he means well? Yes
Do I think he is a competent Senator? Yes (though I don't agree with his politics).
Do I think he is Green being a first term Senator who immediately started to run for President the moment he was sworn in a Senator? Yes.

This WILL be an issue during the General Election.

I had a similar discussion on all this yesterday. The discussion was about how you needed to understand the system, and serve your time. Well IMO the people that have served their time, namely a Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld...were HORRIBLE. While I agree it wasn't a good thing during a photo op to be caught doing that, that should hold very little to the persons credentials IMO. Now, yes...McCain will bring this up time and again during the general election.

IMO, Bush's cabinet was made of more political dinosaurs and people who should have been 'seasoned' yet look what happened: 2 wars that are unfinished after the better part of a decade, recession, huge debt (400M), and sadly to quote Hillary...borrowing from China to buy oil from the ME.
