Obama on steroids

Swipe at John McCain or not, I totally agree with Barack Obama that steroids in baseball should not be part of Congress's daily docket. It never should have come up in Washington, and it should be even less of an issue now.

"I gotta admit that seeing a lot of congressional hearings around steroid use is not probably the best use of congressional time," Obama said.

Exactly. Lawmakers have a war waging in several countries, plus a balky (pun intended) economy to deal with.

Steroids are an important issue, especially with kids and young adults tempted to use them the way their heroes do, or did. Baseball needs to police the problem, and I still contend that it is Bud Selig's fault that the lack of policing by MLB led Congress to get into into the fray in the first place.
