cmon now I know this.
I'm also on your side but when you say youre going to give it to him on poker week then it should have been. You made a claim that you actually had no way of comming through with and this is my point here. All I'm saying is in the future if you run a promo like this and you tell people your gonna deliver some thing to a certain political person you should have atleast took the time to set this meeting up before you got to D.C. and know where and how you were gonna deliver it.
You were quick to make such statements to me such as "
we're not yet at the point where we can dictate the schedule of the President of the United States and
We know we can get it to President Obama. We can simply hand it to an aide. That's easy. What PPA is working on now is the optimal delivery. and
There is a lot going on in DC right now. While you and I would naturally see poker ranking ahead of health care and other issues, unfortunately that's not (yet) the reality of DC politics.
Then you should have known you weren't gonna waltz into D.C. and meet with him.
As well you said
If John was focused solely in hitting the date, we could have all dropped it off with an Obama aide last week and then profusely patted ourselves on the back with great fanfare If you had no intention of delivering it on nation poker week then why did you make this claim on the petition?
You also really need to be putting this up some where like your web site and all the poker forum's you advertised this on that it was not delivered but you are trying or what ever to get to him so that atleast people know whats going on. I think I asked the question here twice before you finally answered it. This in it's self points to the fact you know the ball was dropped.
