It is a matter of Honor as I see it! - Five NASCAR Drivers Decline President Obama's White House Invitation

I had the opportunity to meet Clinton, I declined. He was a dishonorable man, let alone president. ♘

Five NASCAR Drivers Decline President Obama's White House Invitation - From Our Editors - SBNation.com
Jeff Gluck • Sep 1, 2011
NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers – Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart – will not be attending the White House visit due to "schedule conflicts."

They must be very busy people. Regardless of one's political views, the president is still the president – and an opportunity to speak with the leader of the free world is a rare and special one.

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 thePresident of the United States we're talking about here.

For a sport that prides itself on patriotism, having so many drivers turn down the president's invitation simply seems strange.

NO IT IS NOT! IS JEFF GLUCK A REPORTER OR COMMENTATOR? EITHER WAY HE IS WRONG.
