it DOES NOT MATTER one bit what ball he attends - what matters is his policy. period.

Well, you’re taking some hits on your karma with your posts… but I sort of agree with them. There are (in my opinion, cogent) criticisms of the inaugural balls, that they harken back to aristocracy and coronations.

Pomp fades away… what remains are laws enacted and the results of policies.

Also, it does seem many self-described conservatives are going for what might be called the “cheap heat” (to borrow a term from that wonderfully characteristically form of American entertainment - professional wrestling) while playing the opponent of Obama. Whether it is his slip of the tongues (57 states) or his alleged perfidy wrt to his religion, place of birth, etc…. all it adds up to is an exercise in polemics.

What really matters, because we are a nation of laws… are laws (and legal precedents), as well as actual executive decisions (in policies in directing Federal agencies, whether they be civilian or military.)
