Given the presence of rock star former Pres. Bill Clinton, an interesting question is "Where is the current occupant of the White House?" Pres. Obama was traveling in Minnesota last week but somehow failed to show up to even shake hands with the Democratic candidate in this watershed election. Too hot to handle? Don't throw good money after bad? Had to go to a conflicting fundraiser for his own …   more ›
