Wed, Jan 25, 2012, 01:58 AM

The Dallas Blog earlier posted a link to a Houston Chronicle story which inferred that President Barack Obama showed some reluctance to accept an invitation to visit Houston from US Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D.-Tx.).

But he will bring along his trusty teleprompter and a barrage of reporters to provide valuable 'camera time' for Mrs. Jackson Lee.

by Tom McGregor	Tue, Jan 24, 2012, 10:48 PM
