Obama visits Iraq and misses NCAA Championship game
Well...at least he missed watching it from the comfort of his own domicile.
All kidding aside, all points about Obama being a regular guy aside, I have to respect this. He could have arranged this trip so he was home sitting on the White House couch, drinking a microbrew, chewing pretzels and NOT passing out. We all know what George Would Have Done.
I know it's a small point, but I couldn't help but think of it as I heard each news report of where Obama was this weekend, with the NCAA Final Four bouncing around in that other part of my brain. Obama's picks were front page news. He's a huge basketball fan. Yet he chose to work through this annual event.
Nice. I'm not sure I'm quite used to a President who works, not just yet.

Yeah. Maybe John McCain will buy house #8 in Baghdad for his weekend enjoyment.

I guess Obama brought his boogie board. Must be a challenge, body-surfing in the Euphrates, dodging the floating bodies...
:P
Bush's miracle, the modern state of Iraq.
