Anyone else think this is a good way to make lemons into lemonade?

1. I think getting his Disability Agenda enacted is more important.

The story is over, IMO.

[Gman]

2. sure it's more important

but doing this is worth a ton PR-wise which is important to getting things done. He can make a 15 minute appearance then go about the business of whatever.

3. Great idea! K&R!! Let the idea come from DU first!

4. No, just being a strong president and standing up for people with disabilities, which he had done,

is what he should do, not some kind of PR gimmick. That stinks of Bush/Rove.

5. Woohoo! I love dat man!

:bounce: :party: :bounce: He certainly knows how to correct a mistake!

[liberal N proud]

6. It would be a media show

Wouldn't do much to help the people with disabilities in the nation.

I am sure his administrations policies will go further but will never get the coverage in the media the slip did.

7. At this point I think it would seem contrived and artificial. n/t

8. Oh c'mon! This could be FUN and and object lesson about core values!

The gauntlet has ALREADY been thrown down by another high achiever:
