Sometimes you have to wonder which side the President's handlers are really on. They seem to put him in positions that invite obvious and unflattering comparisons. Going to Vietnam, for example, was so awkward for him, what with the current quagmire in Iraq and such. Now, I see that he will celebrate President's Day by laying a wreath at the Mount Vernon estate of George Washington.
