What does everyone think about President Obama always being late for press conferences?
I do understand that he is busy but doesn't this show disrespect. I feel that if you are President of the United States then you should be responsible enough to be on time for all events, since you are running the Country and all.
I am late for everything but I am also not planning on running or being President. I do know that this is something that I need to improve on and shows others that I am irresponsible when it comes to time management.
President Obama knew that this would be a tough job to take on but he should at least be respectful and make sure that he is ready for anything that comes up. Also, is he going to handle terrorism by not making it a timely issue. What will happen if someone decided to attack the U.S. again? Will he say that he is sorry for not handling this problem in a timely manner? I don't know but I just do not feel comfortable with the way he runs this country. I guess that is why I did not vote for him. And, I know that all of you that voted for him think he does no wrong, but at least acknowledge the fact that him being late is not such a good thing.

you got it, i couldn't put my finger on why i didn't like it -- yes, he is NOT a celebrity, that's it.
Guessagain: Well said. We all have to remember that no matter if you agree with the war or not, they volunteered to give their life for us. I know one other person who did this for us, JESUS....................
All: As far as Obama being on Jay Leno, he is the only President to do this while in office. I find this very disturbing. What is he still campaigning? Of course he is. He wants everyone to fall for the tricks that he has up his sleeve. He is not a celebrity, he is the President of USA, which is held to much higher standards. This is what I mean about his arrogance. His walk and talk and being as smooth as he is, is very disturbing to me. I hope he does the right things but he sure is on the wrong track.

health care for vets should be a given, done deal, no questions asked.
I don't really care if he's late, my day is not planned around that 10 minutes, if it is a power play, it doesn't work for me.
A thought I have though, is that a single person is not to blame, the guy was a smooth talker from the start, guys like that just make me nervous. I personally wouldn't want to be handed the house of cards he has to deal with. I'd have to have a bottle of sleeping pills as big as I am to sleep at night. I've got my fingers crossed.
Veterans and health care?
This story is minor compared to what many of the veterans go through, but please bare with me.
At a very high end restaurant near me a party of people entered for a night of fine dining. One of them however didn't meet the stringent dress code. He had a fine suit with all of the proper items included, in short, dressed very well. The problem, he was wearing sneakers. Without an explanation for his attire, he was turned away and of course the rest of the party followed. His choice for not offering an explanation is of course his choice, as I understand, possibly a feeling of shame, or just not wanting to make it an issue, period. As it turned out, he was a returning veteran, returning from Iraq, returning from a hospital and a prolonged recovery, attempting a recovery from emotional and physical trauma that no one should have to endure. It was a celebration evening, and had there been an explanation, they would have found that this gentleman had left his leg in Iraq. He had not yet been fitted with a pair of dress shoes for his prosthetic leg.
Had this man lost his leg in an industrial accident, auto accident, anywhere where a private company is involved, an attorney would be seeking millions of dollars for his loss, he probably would have received it. But he didn't he lose it in an accident, he was told to go to war and defend his country. Whether or not there is any debate over our country needing to be there, or if it was right, is beside the point. As far as this man goes, he did what he was told to do, he was defending his country and our freedom.
There are lot's of veterans out there in the prime of life, without body parts to fully enjoy the rest of it, not to mention the increase of suicides, and emotional damage that will haunt most of them forever.
Insurance for veterans will be expensive, maybe some of our crooked representatives in Washington could give up a couple of pet projects that cost millions upon millions of dollars to help pay for it.
Just a thought.
