How Disappointed am I?

For the last month and a half I've been so excited that I was going to get to see Sen. Barack Obama and John McCain debate for the first time live on CNN from the Unity Journalist of Color Conference that I'm attending for my job... 

::Sigh:: 

Today I find out that his little European trip will be running long so he's not going to do the debate on Wednesday, he's just going to speak on Sunday, the last day of the conference... the day most people are flying out. The day after I'll already be gone. 

Now, I could always pay for a flight change and a hotel room for the extra night. I mean, everything else was free, courtesy of my job... and as long as I'm in the office for work on Monday morning I'm good... But how mad am I that I'm going to be so close to seeing him speak again and more than likely I'm going to miss it? 

Is it really worth fronting the extra money? Or should I just watch the speech from the comfort of my own home with everyone else?
