Ah yes, the two memoirs from the guy who hadn't done anything yet. You're right.

I use to post pictures of his work online with my jewelry-business and the negative comments I'd get were agregious. . . things like "he's suppose to be fighting and killing, not making you jewelry" and crap like that.

People don't get it - Everyone in the world has a job, they do their job, and sometimes they get to have some "down" time (nights, weekends, etc) . . . but it's never really "down" time for the president and soldiers, etc, because they're living at their work, their duty follows them everywhere along with personal assistants and everything else.

Though I don't like Obama, didn't vote for him, and would rather have McCain or Barr as president I don't feel like that robs him of the right to *try* to relax.

because it looks bad

maybe not to you, but to many

and there's nothing to be gained from it

at least, not from its BEING TALKED ABOUT

and people ARE talking about it

and glenn beck's not the bigmouth doing the blabbing, not this time

it contributes to an image lots of people are forming of him

in my opinion

In fact you stated to me that you don't give a **** about being consistent.

There is from being a best-selling author, from being a hospital administrator, and even being a politician pays fairly well.

Why does it look bad? It's their money, they earned it legitimately, and it's not going to anything obscene.
