ok, with luminaries such as you, and Forty on board, it was worth a try.
Very nice, very easy. I don't use many killfiles, but being back on my usual
mail reader is nice.
Thanks......

You're welcome.


now, what were we discussing here?

The whole silliness surrounding the Olympics. If he had been the President he
claimed, he would have been "transparent" about it all - "Our odds of getting
them for Chicago aren't great, but other leaders are stumping, it has helped in
the past, and so, I'm gonna at least try...plus, I can actually run a few minor
errands while I'm over there..." instead of "We just suddenly realized in the
last few days that I desperately needed to go to Copenhagen...and the fact that
they just happen to be deciding whether Chicago is worthy of the games has
nothing to do with it..." Add that to Michelle's Hillary-esque performance on
"the world stage." Will the fact that Chicago didn't get the Olympics, in and
of itself, define his presidency? Of course not. Is it, in and of itself, even
a major issue? No. Is it just one more example of how he isn't the guy he
claimed, was portrayed to be, and promised to be? Yes.
