9. Great that Conyers wants his voice heard, however,
Edited on Tue Dec-08-09 09:45 AM by firedupdem
And he said, ‘Well, let’s talk about it.’”
Sitting in the Judiciary Committee’s conference room two days after Obama delivered his speech on Afghanistan, the 23-term lawmaker said he wasn’t in the mood to “chat.”
Obama’s move to send in 30,000 troops to Afghanistan by the summer of 2010 has clearly disappointed Conyers.
He said he intends to press his case in writing soon.
“I want something so serious that he has to respond in writing, like I am responding in writing to him,” he said.


He can't sit down with the President and discuss? He feels better writing a letter? What the hell is that? Yet he didn't mind sitting down for an interview to talk about the conversation he had with the President? Why won't he talk directly with the President? I've lost a lot of respect for Conyers.
