3. Hey, we have the right to second-guess *every* President's cabinet picks! |
|
More importantly, there's not much else to discuss right now.

5. Faux new; "and he didn't even announce his sec. of Treasury yet"! |
|
for shame Obama, Faux News has repeated that statement about a dozen times now. Media pundits are a bunch of control freaks!

7. a representative democracy |
|
This is a representative democracy, not a dictatorship.
I would hope and trust that he thinks he is a public servant, and that he would listen to all of us and that we all continue to speak out without fearing being called disloyal.

8. obviously he's not going to listen to all of us |
|
on such things as cabinet appointments. He was elected to make those decisions himself, not poll the public on said decisions. He was elected to exercise his best judgment. Don't like it? Vote him out in 4 years. That's what it means to live in a representative system. The reference to a dictatorship is wholly gratuitous.
And express your opinions all you wish. I reserve MY right to poke fun at whatsoever I wish.

15. love it or leave it then, I guess |
|
So that is the sum total of participating in a representative democracy? "Vote him out?" The opposition, the right wing does not see things that way. Why should we cripple ourselves?
Poke fun all you wish, and I will express my rebuttals to that. You are asking people to not express their opinions - certain opinions with which you disagree - and to trust and not criticize our leaders, so it is entirely appropriate to characterize that as attempted suppression of free speech and also as asking us to embrace a feature of dictatorships - blind obedience to a leader.

It's the right wing nut jobs that are so used to * making a decision on a dime that they can't comprehend a thinking President Elect.
