Damn. So this is what happens when you don’t read a thread for 24 hours.
First of all, this isn’t the first time that deepimpact has said something that was “misconstrued.” If, when she said “visit,” she meant that to mean, “We all can't eat with the china,” then that’s all she had to say. “Hey, I’m sorry everyone, but what I meant was...” Simple enough.
Anyway, the fact that people are getting all crazy about this kind of baffles me. There are 132 rooms in the White House. I’ve visited there 5 times; 3 times on the general tour, and twice in the West Wing (and yes, it’s pretty easy to visit. Hell, I’ve played with the President’s dog in the rose garden!). Still, I’ve only seen a fraction of the house. I don’t get mad because I can’t use the glassware, or because I can’t sleep in the Lincoln bedroom, or because I can’t throw a strike in the bowling alley. The entire house belongs to the country, but we, as the general public, don’t have access to about 95% of it. Why don’t we all get mad that we can’t use the presidential toilet paper?!
Any way you look at it, this wasn’t paid for with taxpayer’s money. So what’s the problem? If I went out and bought a speed boat right now, would you come knocking down my door saying, “Hey, we’re in a recession!”
