I know a lady works at a fast food joint (for like 10 years) took her little daughter to see Obama when he was in Boise. They had no problem. It was probably a bigger place, they used an arena.

Honestly, how dense does someone have to be to have not figured out by now that Obama's much ballyhooed identification with "ordinary people," whatever that means, is just as fictitious as his memoirs?

Aside from him saying he cares about such people, what personal evidence is there? And I don't mean, silly, unworkable policies and power-grabbing schemes.

Mr. Wenger, you and your daughter were turned away because you were surplus props, and unlike major donors, you are very, very easy to replace.
I am having a hard time believing that a 8 year old child really wants to meet the president. 8 year olds want to play games, watch cartoons, play outside, color,play with their friends and play with toys, not meet some political figure. This is why I think her mommy or daddy are the ones who want to meet the president and put the child up to asking to meet the president.

I don't get it. It's not like asperger's is some horrible fatal disease and this was her last wish. Venues DO get full. So, I'm afraid I'm just not seeing the big deal here.

I mean, this is really trying TOO hard.
