Interesting: Obama chooses May Day to go to Afghanistan [View all]
I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, but man that May Day coverage just went great yesterday...Oh no, wait, Obama went to Afghanistan, so instead of that coverage, we got more war coverage.
I hate to gripe too much about it, but seriously, does anyone think this wasn't planned? Maybe even last year, who knows, since they said it was on the anniversary of Bin Laden.
You say you want us, the Occupy people to make you pass legislation, then you schedule this event on the very day Occupy is trying to get a little publicity from a generally unwilling corporate media.
What do you think? Am I off base here?
