I can see Hillary doing some of the same, but not to the same degree. I think McCain would have been the most responsible of the three.

Apparently it is a tradition in the white house... "THE ANNUAL shamrock ceremony at the White House has become such a familiar fixture in the political calendar that it’s easy to overlook the extraordinary and unlikely nature of today’s events in Washington." http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2009/0317/1224242944240.htmlannual adj. occurring once a year

That this event occurs every year, not just this year. Kind of like the annual pardoning of a turkey before Thanksgiving.

Maybe he's never heard of us. Do you suppose that we'd get invited if he knew that we existed?

I hope he sobers up in time to make it to his Tonight Show gig with Leno...that sure seems like a gross misuse of AF1 to fly to LA and back just to be on the show. Wonder if he's ever heard of video conferencing...

Is that once per calendar year? Please define year? 12 rolling months? What if it's a leap year? Sounds like a whole lot of deus ex machina to me.

I have to agree with that.
What's good for the goose...........
Since we are in such bad economic shape, we ALL need to cut back - government included. If this is an annual event - fine, but it can be austier and then explained to all of us that, yes, we are continuing the tradition, but in a way so as not to incur elaborate expense.

But, BO just said last week that the economy is not as bad as everybody thought! In fact, he just said "The economy is fundamentally sound"
Even though he ripped McCain apart for saying the same thing while they were campaigning!

The nation, or at least those who voted for Barack O'bama that are not of the far left and consume vast quantities of koolAide, has been swindled.
