But wasn't the trip to Copenhagen unofficial? Then Obama would have to pay for the trip. Meeting with McChrystal for that 25 minutes turned it into official business and the burden falls upon us taxpayers? I am sure that someone here can correct me if I am wrong…

And she would have exercised her rights and responsibilities as President of the Senate. That is why the liberal media attacked her on that very issue.

Hardly. When JFK failed at something (like the Bay of Pigs), he took ownership of it: <blockquote>There's an old saying that victory has 100 fathers and defeat is an orphan. [1961 J. F. Kennedy News Conference 21 Apr. in Public Papers of Presidents of U.S. (1962) 312] </blockquote> If Chicago had been chosen for the 2016 Olympics, Obama would have taken the credit. But who gets the blame after Barack and Obama gave extremely self-centered speeches and Chicago lost their bid? Did Obama act like JFK, and take ownership of his failure? No, he let his lackeys blame Bush! Some Dems like to pretend that Obama is like JFK.

Hardly.
