I've watched Andrea Mitchell become increasingly uable to hide her enthusiasm for Obama, so I don't regard her as a reliable source. I've read elsewhere that Obama was welcome to visit, but he had to leave the entourage behind. Without the entourage, he took a pass. I suspect that there will be continual back and forth about this in the next day or so. My information may not be correct, but I'm not relying on Andrea Mitchell as a source for a rebuttal. Jim:
