Reply #17: Calling you on bullshit. [View All]

Obama didn't mind endorsing tourism for the gulf coast. The president is allowed to have opinions.

I think some of his fully faithful followers were so aghast that he backed up so quickly that they have trotted out this stupid defense. Tell you what. You say it is a constitutional issue. Quote me the part of the constitution that says the president cannot have an opinion about issues like this. Or if you prefer, you can just redefine up and down and locate a few misplaced commas to twist this to something you can call a defense.

Point is that he made a courageous statement, a position that one would expect from a strong president with true leadership qualities. Then he "qualified" it to blunt the attack from the right wing. Sad.
