Let Me Be Fair

Sen. Obama, in all fairness to Sen. McCain, you could have gone to visit the injured troops. You could have circumvented Pentagon regulations. This would have gone a long way instead of another photo op sesssion.

Those Republican Nominees and Eastern Europe

While I'm not an ardent fan of Sen. Obama, it appears that Sen. McCain is looking to throw the election. Didn't the Arizona senator know that Czechoslovakia is now the Czech Republic and the Republic of Slovakia? If I hadn't retired from the N.Y.C. school system, I'd suggest that he take my social studies class.
This reminded me when President Ford said during a 1976 debate with Jimmy Carter that the Soviet Union exerts little influence in Eastern Europe. My students couldn't believe that gaffe!
Of course, President Bush must be happy that Czechoslovakia broke up. Imagine him trying to spell that country?
