(Updated) NASCAR drivers give thumbs down to presidential visit

Photoshopped, naturally
Rick Moran  "As for Gluck's "patriotism" shot - is he really equating patriotism with being an extra in a campaign commercial for a candidate they don't support? Besides, I don't recall hearing that argument during the Bush years when dozens of lefties from every walk of life dissed Bush by either turning down invitations, or by showing up and "speaking truth to power." Politics is politics and what's good for one side, is good for the other.
"You go, boys."
Emphasis gleefully added. TD


This rebuttal to my TW article was posted on Facebook by Tom Dignan, Sr. 
I thought about linking it to Mr. Dignan's Facebook page, but was not sure about the propriety of doing that.
"The drivers have major commitments with their sponsors that could not be cancelled,they did not "Snub" the President. All said they would attend if they had been given more notice, most have been ther[e] at least once before."
Thank you for this comment. TD

 Jeannie DeAngelis: Barack Obama’s NASCAR Blues  "...sarcastically chiding the NASCAR no-shows, an irritated Obama advocate argued: “You’d think whatever photo shoots or sponsor appearances these drivers have lined up on Wednesday afternoon – if that’s indeed the reason – could be rescheduled. After all, this is the President of the United States we’re talking about here.” Ouch!"
