Ozzie Guillen and the White House Visit

The Chicago White Sox are scheduled to visit the White House on Monday and manager Ozzie Guillen won't be there. To Guillen's absence I say, "Big deal."

This is a photo opportunity and nothing more and as Vince points out - its been rescheduled three times now (read all of Vince's post - he makes some very good points). These visits to the White House were created to give the President good PR and are nothing but photo ops. Sure its an honor to visit but Guillen is also a husband and a father and his duty is first to his family and this may be the only time he gets to spend quality time with them for seven or eight months.

Scott Podsednik won't be attending either because he's with his new wife (who I've seen naked) on their honeymoon. No big deal either.
