Had that been me - had that been any free man or woman privileged to claim the name of "American" - two things would have happened: (1) an immediate walkout even if I had to hitchhike home, and (2) an editorial blast that would have made Tsar Bomba look like a bathtub fart. It is absolutely within the ability of every craven, lickspittle blot on human dignity sitting in that room to ensure 0bama never does it again. And they will not.
This is "awkward", is it? No, it is a calculated, sneering, contemptuous affront that only a coward would accept. Every single word written by every one of those dung-tunneling worms should be read with that picture in mind for the rest of their miserable careers.
