I guess your Roy Neary-moment had its merits... Opinions are divided here between pragmatists, grappling at the opportunity of a CEot3rdK (Mr. Mojito, Mr. Bingley and Claudia4Libertad) and idealists, not touching it with a ten foot pole (pototo, Honey, FreedomForCuba, Rick W. Buczek). I embrace the later. First of all, one-cannot-cohort-cahoot-and-fraternize-with-its-sworn-adversary/enemy (one example comes to mind (extreme, granted): the Jüdische Ghetto-Polizei in Warzaw. Things just didn't turn out to good for them did it?). And second, being the all-passionate Cubano that I am, probably I couldn't have resisted giving Mr. President a piece of my mind with the only weapon I own, my mouth! Now tell us the truth, did you really have the stomach to down that magnificent steak? Michael,

When the President thank you for all your help... What help was that? Did the secret service brief him on you? or did he mistake you for someone else?

I had the privilege of meeting George W. Bush twice, each time when he came to my workplace. A large portion of my work colleagues are liberals, and committed ones at that. Only 2 or 3 of them refused to shake Bush's hand. The vast majority were respectful and even cordial. Nice post CM, but I have to disagree with you on something.

But last night, in order to meet President Obama and shake his hand, Michael Pancier pretended. So Mr. Pancier's extreme animosity toward the President was supposedly put on hold for one night in order to teach liberals a lesson about respect for the office of the presidency...oh, and also get a picture with the "Dick in Chief." Michael Pancier, "Cigar Mike," applied the tag "Liberal Hypocrisy" to this post. Really. In the past, babalu contributor Michael Pancier has been responsible for blog posts like these.

I'm sure that you witnessed plenty of hypocrisy at the event. Like I said, I share the same views as pototo. I feel he totally nailed it with his last comment. Of course we're not politicians and I don't follow political leaders to events (as it's not my cup of tea). No wonder the American people are so disenchanted with our current political system, seeing the way it operates but, it is what it is. Mike,
