Our Boy Charlie: Just Call Him Clueless
Published: October 27, 2009
According to an AP story published Tuesday the man we Floridians trust to steer our ship of state told reporters be was unaware that the President of the United States was in Florida.
President Obama arrived Monday to honor servicemen and women at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station. On Tuesday, he traveled to DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, near Arcadia to announce an investment of $3.4B in a new technology for transmitting electric power. President Obama equated the significance of the new “smart grid” system to the building of the interstate highway system half a century ago.
But our feckless leader, Clueless Chuck, was too busy celebrating with tribal leaders at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, FL to give the president the courtesy and respect of a visit.
Perhaps he was worried about the possibility of another “kiss” photo, like the one taken last February.
The picture, which made its way around the Intertubes with lightning speed, caused fellow Republicans to express doubt about Charlie’s allegiance to the Grand Old Party. With Mark Rubio nipping at his heels in the primary race, you can be sure Ol’ Charlie doesn’t want anyone mistaking him for an Obama supporter these days.
But I have to wonder, if the governor didn’t know the Prez was here in Florida, what else isn’t he aware of –How much H1N1vaccine is being made available to residents? How our share of the stimulus money is really being spent? Pirates off our coast?
Gee, Gov. Crist, I know you’ve got your heart set on that senate seat so you can be a big influence in DC for Florida, but doncha think you might want to show some manners to the guy who’ll be your “boss” if you ever do get to Washington?
