Give me (and him) a break...
October 9, 2009 | Vetting explained
I have yet to find an article today that says, simply, "Well done Mister President". Why do we need to put a spin on everything? Create drama? Hypothesize whether its too early; will it hurt him; is it the last thing he needs? President Obama had very little to do with the final decision in this instance - just like he had no control over the Chicago Olympics vote... There is only so much that the White House can Harry Potter. So let's lay off ushering in the drama and the negative bytes for a second and just say "Congratulations".
