“Scheduling Conflicts?”


President Joe Biden and his crack team in the White House have introduced a new term into the political vernacular … “scheduling conflicts.” I first noticed this term a few weeks ago when Stacey Abrams could not meet with Biden in Georgia because of “scheduling conflicts.” Okay, okay, even though we are all used to politicians “fibbing” now and then, did those responsible for Stacy Abrams schedule actually think that anyone would buy that feeble excuse? More important, did Stacey Abrams think that that excuse would pass the sniff test? Realistically I guess it’s possible that there was an actual good reason that Ms. Abrams just could not make it on the day that Biden visited … for instance, perhaps she was going to have open-heart surgery that day, and it could not be rescheduled! Even though I did not read anything about her heart surgery, perhaps Ms. Abrams preferred to keep her health issues private … and that I can understand.

Coincidentally, when President Biden was scheduled to visit Pittsburgh on 1/28/22, there were more “scheduling conflicts.” Two of Pennsylvania’s top Democrats, Josh Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, who is running for Senate, and gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro, the state’s attorney general, missed  the president’s visit because of “scheduling conflicts.” I suppose there could have been two more politicians scheduled to have open-heart surgery on the same day, and by pure happenstance, that day just happened to be the day that President Biden was visiting Pittsburgh. Hmmm!

BTW, if you think that actual “scheduling conflicts” were involved in any of these snubs, I have a bridge to sell you!
