Yes, that sounds to me like more of an opportunity for the participants to
show solidarity in the face of ugliness. I think Gary is mischaracterizing
the situation in order to make the President look bad for political
benefit. Kind of ironic, considering how much he has been railing at others
for politicizing something.

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what
the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another
theory which states that this has already happened.
