Setting an example Friday, Feb 5 2010
1 8:00 am
The “Roads Scholar” has once again proven the old saying that even the worst of us can serve a good purpose. We can serve as a bad example.
The governor of Indiana will be in Miami for the Super Bowl.
According to the Associated Press here is what the Republican governor of Indiana will be doing while he is in Miami:
[Governor of Indiana Mitch Daniels] will arrive in the Miami area on Friday afternoon. His schedule includes some economic development meetings and a meeting with members of the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee. Indianapolis will host the Super Bowl in 2012.
Daniels will host about 300 people at an Indiana Economic Development Corp. event Saturday at a venue in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.
Compare and contrast
Compare the above to the “Roads Scholar’s” schedule. Bobby will fly into Miami on Sunday to attend a fundraising brunch for himself, supposedly attend the Super Bowl and jump on his secretly provided private airplane to return to Baton Rouge on Sunday night.
Indy’s governor is taking advantage of this huge gathering of high-powered individuals to promote his state. Bobby is taking advantage of this gathering of high-powered individuals to stuff their money into his pockets.
Which person would you prefer to have as governor?
