"I'M SORRY, THE PRESIDENT'S ON THE LINE WITH SANDRA FLUKE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD?"

People the White House might want to call with an encouraging word:

1) SGT TRAVIS MILLS, QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE

Look for more info, and what you can do to help, at www.travismills.org -- if you can get through. The site traffic is so heavy it seems to have crashed. [link fixed]

2) And then there's BOWE BERGDAHL, PRISONER OF WAR, held in Afghanistan by the Taliban (did I say that right, Mr. President -- "Tah-lee-bahn"?) since 2009.

I'm sure if you could blame Bush you would, Mr. Obama, but YOU OWN THIS ONE since it happened on your watch.

"Yes We CAN negotiate with terrorists."

"Still watching the line....."
