In fact I did NOT say that Americans CANNOT visit the White House. I said they BARELY can visit. So he did not show that my statement was not accurate. He showed that he did not properly read and comprehend the sentence. There is a difference. I stand by my original statement. I will add that it is extremely difficult to get an opp to visit the White House. You have to jump through major hoops. Too many hoops for the "china to belong to all of us."

Oh. (LOL? Come on.)

Actually, I'll edit this, because this is completely ridiculous - you said "people can barely get near the White House, let alone even visit it" and now you want me to believe you meant "let alone can barely even visit it"? OK - dude, it's OK to misstep every once in a while. It actually adds credibility. But hey - let's ignore all context clues and pretend MysticCat and I are idiots instead! Scrabble for rolls?

On the whole, though, you're being kind of . . . unfair? Short-sighted? I mean, the china was ordered a long time ago, and they can't control when it arrives, so . . .
