re: #341 reine.de.tout

And here you have it. Obama stays out of the way, there is a huge hue and cry about how he isn’t paying attention to the problem. When he speaks, there is a huge hue and cry about partisan finger-pointing. Like every other presidential administration in my memory, he’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

There are plenty of real criticisms to be dealt with. Expecting Obama to deal with the crisis on the one hand, and “shut the fuck up” on the other hand, is just not realistic.

Reine, you are an intelligent, rational, level-headed and courageous person. Your input on this issue is appreciated.
