37. Since it is pretty clear our administration was behind the rumor

Fri Jul 5, 2013, 02:57 PM

Jul 2013

Then as President he should personally be calling Morales.

What do you think would happen if this was HIS plane that was grounded? Morales is his peer, his equal. To treat him otherwise shows arrogance and contempt towards our neighbors.

I expect our President to be a better man then Bush was and I expect him to step up when his people ( or himself) screws up.
