Image today counts for 95% of public interaction. Why would you chose a signal the vast majority will interpret negatively?
Someone would have let him know but unfortunately no chance between exiting the limo and climbing the stairs. Could have been a slip from a presidential notepad, who fucking knows. Sometimes awkward shit happens..no need for triggered excuses.
Anon, I hear you. Progress is being made but drops have been over-sold. The collective has a hard time accepting that being critical doesn't have to mean you're not hoping for progress.
The Administration is doing a fine job. Lots of damage to unwind…nevertheless we're making great strides. Appreciating all that's happening doesn't mean you can't call bullshit on 'obama with ak in tribal garb spraying the red, white and blue.' Too many see it only in black & white. Keep thinking critically, it's an important attribute but unfortunately in short supply.
