Sorry - not 24 hours - just "after the fact."

WHY didn't we hear about this earlier, instead of 24 hours after the fact?

I thought everybody was interested in what went down in 1965?

I am glad that this is a cat show, if it was a dog show, President Obama's followers would be licking their chops at a dog show! You do know that the President ate dogs growing up.

So? I bet you eat cows, chicken and pigs. No different. You have just rationalized that it is ok to eat one and not the other.

I bet none of those cats traveled to the Cat Show on the top of their cars......good thing they weren't transported by Mr. Romney!

As typical of the right wing, they do not understand what one does as a CHILD is much different than what one does as an ADULT. Second, I see no difference in eating dog or cat versus eating a cow. It is why I do not eat any of them. Third, why is the immediate comeback, what Obama did, versus defending against the charges. When Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh are being hypocrites and saying gay marriage is an abomination, the first thing they bring up is John Edwards or Bill Clinton, which has NOTHING to do with whether they are lying hypocrites.
