But not for every group of whack jobs with an impressive title. I realize that not everyone holds the UN in high regard, but I think that "group of whack jobs" is a bit too dismissive of it's legitimacy. If the US has been actively working on the conference and is expected, as a member nation, to participate, it seems to me that the default is that we attend. If the government chooses to go against what is a legitimate expectation, it owes its citizens an explanation and there better be one forthcoming. I want to see the President focused the agenda he was elected to carry out... The State Department is quite capable of doing what needs to be done. There's no need for the President to spend any of his precious time on this at all. I don't think anyone expects him to go. I don't like having to be distracted from my agenda by such things as paying bills, getting my a/c fixed, shoveling snow from my sidewalk and junk like that, but, just like the government, there's just stuff you've got to attend to because that's the way the world works and it's expected.
