    This is getting stupid... I am starting to believe that Obama does not have a clue or he just does not care. Needs to park it and quit running around on our dime like he has won the lotto.

    Time for a trip to Coney Island, dogs, cotton candy and pizza. All on taxpayer money of course. Wait Obama will be tired from giving his "jobs" speech.

    were y'all complainin when bush went to the UN? do you people even know what clinton global initiative is about? i highly recommend tuning into their live conference feed (as well as the UN's) – you will absolutely learn more than a thing or two, and none of them will involve complaints. And just FYI, last year at CGI, Michelle Obama gave a speech about the importance of hiring veterans. if you think that's a waste of money and time, leave this country now.
