I like to be fair and balanced. Those bozos at Fox News lambasted the Social Security Administration for holding a meeting at The Biltmore in Scottsdale although they received an $85.00 room rate. Hell, I’ve paid more than that at a Hampton Inn.
One of their correspondents stated something to the effect, “I don’t see the need for a meeting when Social Security has one of the best video conferencing systems available.” They may have a great conferencing system, but video conferencing systems don’t motivate, incentivize, enhance communications or build camaraderie. I wrote them and said “Stick to reporting the news, let us decide, your analysis is lacking and flawed!” President Obama has access to the best video conferencing system in the world but he usually chooses to hop on Air Force One, like his predecessors, at a cost of $60,000.00 an hour to attend meetings to sell his policies. Damn, there’s just nothing like a live meeting to get your point across!

You nailed it , what hypocrisy. Does that $60,000 an hour include the teleprompter crew?
