At the time, Rep. Davis' mojo couldn't have been higher. To be among fifteen men invited to share Super Sunday with the new President! Amazing.
Flash Forward. The White House this week released visitor logs for the White House after initially fighting that proposed disclosure. Mr. Davis' visit isn't included because the records only cover recent weeks. There is a way to request records for other dates or names, and to search the names that have resulted from those requests, but still, no Artur Davis (or, for that matter, Bob Riley!)
Starting in December, all of the records will be posted automatically. But I wonder how often the Congressman has been back to visit, considering his opposition to several Administration initiatives like health care with a Public Option.
And will President Obama take an active role in the Alabama Gubernatorial election, either before or after the primary?
[Disclosure: Though I've been to the White House, courtesy Presidents Carter and Reagan, nothing since. Talk about loss of mojo!]
Not sure why this is newsworthy, tim? Just because he hasn't eaten dinner with the POTUS in recent weeks doesnt mean he hasn't been with him at other venues?
ReplyDeleteI agree the Super Bowl was interesting and caught peoples attention, but who cares how often he goes over there? I think most Alabamians prefer if he focus on issues and events that matter to our state.
I think it's important that we focus on multi-million dollar no-bid contracts with companies that have no phone, no business licenses of any sort, no tax ID numbers, no Internet presence, no storefront, and apparently nothing more than an award for a multi-million dollar no-bid Riley Alabama contract.
ReplyDeleteOh... that and South American travel!
I'd like see Brazil and Peru!
Look out Bolivia! Here I come!
Don't cry for me Argentina!
