(50,326 posts)"How reckless! The President was stupid to put himself and the country in such a position! He should have known better. Bet he considered it another vacation." This entire "poutrage" is just another right wing talking point that migrated left. Your statement could also be construed to mean "The USA is too important and must always be the center of attention" when a high level official shows up to lock hands with the French President. Would the French be the center of the universe? No. It would be shades of 9/11 and how the incident in France was horrible, but nothing like 9/11, yada, yada, yada. The talking heads - both left and right - are too predictable. I'm quite happy having the Ambassador represent the United States. That's her job.
