What about "straight talk" from Gail? Is a six-month grace period insufficient? Isn't it time to acknowledge that those who voted for "Obama the Activist", an image fostered by the teleprompter magic of Axelrod & Co., have in fact been given "Obama the Ostrich"?
My comment:
"And there is no sign, Purdum reported, that Palin has made any attempt to bone up on the issues so that next time around, she could run as a candidate who actually had some grasp of the intricacies of foreign and domestic policy."
Palin is not "going against the flow" or "swimming against the current". She's "dead in the water", i.e. harmless, destined to be chum for late night television jokes and New York Times op-ed barbs for many years to come. Her blind cave fish grasp of the intricacies of foreign and domestic policy? Who cares?
Forgive me, however, if I ask: Has the president's "grasp of the intricacies" served the U.S. any better vis-a-vis health care reform, gay rights, economic revival and the courageous Iranian students who took to Tehran's streets and were left to their fate by the Obama administration?
From activist to ostrich: Is there no middle ground?
I did not vote for Obama-cowboy. I would not vote for any cowboy. I voted for Obama-intellectual. It turned out, I helped to bring to power a world class con man, agent of "Nation of Islam".
ReplyDeleteIt remains unclear who holds sway over Obama's foreign policy, or at least the consortium that overruled Hillary and Biden on Iran.
ReplyDeleteI do not have any proofs, of course. I think, this is an interesting article on this subject

Thanks for the article, Marina.
ReplyDeleteI am certain that Obama, after listening to Wright over the course of 20 years, was influenced to some degree by Wright's sermons, but someone else was responsible for overruling Hillary and Biden. Gates? Jones? Baker?
Also, when does Hillary begin to bridle and consider alternatives vis-a-vis 2012?
