I personally felt the news about the House’s refusal to call another pointless hearing was very sad. Who is going to explain these congressman’s kids and grandkids that they aren’t going to get a A-Rod signed ball to go next to their personalized Roger Clemens ball. We have to think of the kids.

Yeah, ‘cause that’s what Obama is known for - ducking questions.  Bitter much?

In everyone’s rush to criticize the question (and questioner) for not focusing on More Important Matters, forgotten - or conveniently ignored - is the federal government’s role in baseball’s steroids problem.
The prosecution of Barry Bonds is not due to an out-of-control district attorney; its the U.S. Attorney’s office in SF which has made this a federal case, literally and figuratively.
Also, Obama’s predecessor one used the bully pulpit of no less than the State of the Union Address to decry the presence of steroids in sports.
“To help children make right choices, they need good examples. Athletics play such an important role in our society, but, unfortunately, some in professional sports are not setting much of an example. The use of performance-enhancing drugs like steroids in baseball, football, and other sports is dangerous, and it sends the wrong message—that there are shortcuts to accomplishment, and that performance is more important than character. So tonight I call on team owners, union representatives, coaches, and players to take the lead, to send the right signal, to get tough, and to get rid of steroids now.”

This sucks. I’ve got a great story about the White House, but I’m not allowed to tell it because its ‘classified’.

Sure, the government can keep that secret….
