HOw does a one day meeting with big hoopla lead-ins and ending activities actually do anything?

[Stinky The Clown]

This is not about Obama.

We have seen these one or two day 'meetings' happen forever. The picture they want you to have is one of people around a table with lots of papers scattered about and sleeves rolled up.

Hahahaha.

Yeah.sure.right.

1. like these guys (and gals) dont have phones or email (or ambassadors)

I think it's all BS myself.

2. Wait, why are you pulling aside that curtain -- HEY! There's a guy back there working levers and

talking in a microphone! WTF?

3. If they agreed upon anything, they did so in advance.

This was just a show.

4. No group that big can get much done. Especially when they're all used to being top cat. nt

5. Because they've all gotten their marching orders from their corporate masters

and they just have together for the photo op to make the rest of us think they are the actual leaders.

6. "meetings" have been going on for a long time..behind the scenes

and once most of the hard stuff has been agreed upon, they hold a "gala event"..a showing of support, and announce their conclusions..:)

Kind of like a wedding.. The wedding DAY, is the big event, but a LOT of advance planning went into making everything work..on that ONE day :)
