Obama and the Olympics: An Economic Boost?

Obama has time for vacation, time to appear on Letterman and now time to lobby for the Olympics. What really is shocking is that he's only found the time to speak once with General McChrystal, our commander in Afghanistan, at a time we are supposedly rethinking our strategy. From 60 Minutes interview:

Asked how often he talks to the president, McChrystal said, "I've talked to the president since I've been here once on a VTC."

"You talked to him once in 70 days?" Martin asked.

"That's correct," McChrystal replied.

I think we need a Priorities Czar to help sort this out.
