Obama's first response was to say nothing, just keep on body surfing and hitting the links. He knew the State Runs would twiddle their thumbs, look the other way, and tell us breathlessly what the First Wookie was wearing, and how they were (in a weirdly improbable image) all sitting around singing Christmas carols-- presumably in their bathing suits.
But the internet was buzzing, including this site, with news about the father reporting his son to US authorities, the kid buying a one-way ticket with cash, having no passport, etc etc etc.
His speeches are all starting to blur together....and I'm not listening! His presence before a teleprompter is not reassuring. The USA realized back in November 2008, we are on our own....this explains the huge leap in buying guns and ammunition. We will, if we are not already, become a nation of Beamers.....I say, let's roll.
Bottom line: Obama and the State Runs cannot control the news. Continuing to try now only makes them look increasingly foolish.
