General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Wow... It Gets WAAAY Worse... 'Whom Can The President Kill ?' - TheNewYorker (We Are Now Nixon) [View all]OK, thanks. "That" kind of logic. Which, to me, is no logic at all. The following is MY logic:
John Brennan = Dick Cheney. John Brennan is a holdover from the fucking GWB administration. And this is exactly why I don't like the "team-of-rivals" business. But, does this make ME anti-Obama? No! I love PO just like everyone. I voted for him twice. But that doesn't mean I agree with his "team-of-rivals" administration. Lincoln did it, JFK did it, and you remember what happened to them.
I am old enough to be POs mother. I latched on to him when he made that speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. This is what I said as soon as he finished that speech: "Now, THAT is a Statesman." Then he became Senator Obama. And in the back of my mind, I thought "another step." Then he announced that he was running for President and I was ecstatic. I was torn between him and Hillary, but when the Primary came, I did choose PO. I followed him (on TV) on his campaign trek around the country and couldn't believe the crowds he drew. And I voted for him, and was delirious when they announced that he had won.
But. Then he started choosing his cabinet. I said nothing, but in the back of my mind I was so frightened for him, since he had chosen the team-of-rivals trail. I had to accept his choices and have prayed that he would be alright. He has done many things I disagreed with and I have said so, but that doesn't mean I am anti-PO! And now he has been reelected and his cabinet is looking allot better as it shapes up. And he has taken a different tone. And I am as proud of him and Michelle & their family as I ever was, as if he was my own son.
So, I hope nobody misinterprets my dislike of John Brennan, as If were against Obama, as nothing could be further from the truth.
And The New Yorker is NOT a right wing rag.
The hearing starts at 2:30 EST, about 45 minutes from now.
