Reply #5: To me, it's not a matter of hosting state dinners

He's our President. He deserves to take a breather now and then, even if he has to put on a tuxedo to do it.

I do have an issue with some media outlets oohinh and ahhing over "What's Michelle Obama going to wear?" when we still have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, our health insurance crisis is getting worse every day, Detroit is becoming a ghost town, and we're still shipping jobs overseas.

We, as a nation, are hurting. And the media would do well to remember that working American families are bearing the majority of the pain.
