    How quickly the local trolls forget

    that the 2004 Republican Convention was diliberately scheduled as close to the 9/11 "Anniversary" (cuz they actually celibrate it) as possible to maximize their use of fear on their own people.

    From the posts I've read here, Obama is doing exactly the right thing.
