Just embarrassing...

I am sure most have seen the footage or heard audio of the Prez's exchange with Tony Blair...What made me first cringe was the open mouth chomping and the seemingly in appropriate use of the the word irony...It took me a while to figure out if he said anything relevant. I think by accident he got part of the problem.

Another issues that is not helping our image is the slow response to US citizens looking to get out of Lebanon...Those who are fortunate enough to get to Cyprus are then being asked to pay for passage from Lebanon to Cyprus. If you don't have the money now you have to sign a promissary note.
