He made a mistake and in my opinion handled it very well. I'm sure he was embarrassed. Sadly this is yet another example of how this campaign is going. There is a tendency to make much out of nothing and in so doing to ignore the things that should be important.

When did we last hear candidates mention border security, illegal aliens or the drug problem in this country What are they going to do about the burden imposed on our military who are stretched so thin?

How will they fix our economy? I doubt a tax increase on just the wealthiest 2% will do it all but it sure sounds great to the rest us us in the other 98%.

Have you heard any mention lately about term limits? The increasing list of important issues does not get addressed and the focus of media stays on sound bites, gaffs and misstatements.

The Saturday Night Live spoof got loads of media attention but really has nothing to do with what should be important to us as a nation. We seem to have lost our sense of what matters, or should matter.
