He has never had decent protocol officers and handlers, and even I don't expect him to be able to handle all contingencies on his own. Without his TelePrompter, he's a blunderer, but he would make far fewer mistakes if he had the executive ability to hire a decent staff. And "can't I just eat my waffle?" is no substitute for statesmanship or being presidential. Still, with the complicity of the MSM, he seems to get through these boo-boos without any serious damage.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-70712189544857160852012-02-20T12:54:50.764-05:002012-02-20T12:54:50.764-05:00First - How could he NOT know or at the very least...First - How could he NOT know or at the very least one of his handlers should have thought of checking. But then again, I don't think anyone actually reads the legislation he signs. They just say "no reason to read this, just sign it. It's about sharks or something."<br /><br />It reminds me of a scene in "West Wing" where Charlie, knowing Bartlett's love for old maps gives him a antique pre-Israel map of Palestine for Christmas and, of course, he loves it and he wants to hang it in his office. Leo flips out and says you can't hang a map of the Middle East that does not have Israel on it. That may be misinterpreted as being anti-Israel. That's what these people are supposed to do. Make sure that the President isn't perceived as a hypocrite. Though with Obama, it is a Herculean feat...<br /><br />I am more upset with these "spontaneous" restaurant appearances he insists on. He spends an awful lot of time going to get burgers for the staff or bringing back take-out.

As for using all of any food source isn't that being conservative?<br />It is interesting that a total ban of the shark fin soup is the way to conserve sharks. If the whole shark is ok to catch so that shark steaks can be served then what to do with the fins. Throw them back to sink slowly to the bottom of the ocean? <br />Pickled pigs feet could be in the next ban exercise.
