It's not Iraq the USA is currently fighting in, bombing and trying to set
up a new government in?
If it isn't, and hasn't been for the last 5 years, it really is me (and the
President) who got it mixed up.
My point had nothing to with WHERE it is going on but the fact he was
laughing and joking while answering questions (which he really wasn't doing
that clearly) and talking about it. WAR and ECONOMY. It doesn't seem funny.
And I imagine those who have really been hurt by it (bombing whatever
country and the bad economy) don't think it's something to joke around while
talking about.
I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it, but it seemed so strange at the
time. I've noticed this before, he seems to be having a good time, laughing,
joking, chuckling, lighthearted, when talking about the most serious topics
that really effect (and can) people's lives.
