Pardon the term, but do you see evil?"</I><BR/><BR/>Well frankly, all I see is the curtain. Anything could be behind it. <I>That</I> is precisely what bothers me.<BR/><BR/>I think that to be the leader of 300,000,000 people in the middle of two wars, whose decisions affect <I>everyone</I> on the whole planet, a lot more should be known. Things that we have seen, not just things the person has said. For me this is just plain common sense. It <I>really</I> bothers me that common sense seems to have deserted what passes in the USA for a "left wing".<BR/><BR/>Another thing is timing. Often timing is fundamental. You mention Nixon, the guy who had a "secret plan". If you think about it, if Nixon had won the presidency in 1960 instead of 1968, we might have been spared Vietnam and... Watergate.<BR/><BR/>As to the "experienced insiders", being inside and experienced all they care about is picking a winner, winners hand out the jobs.<BR/><BR/>You say,<BR/><I>I would want Obama to be able to fail. I would want that the people who want him to be the president, would be able to see just how hard the other sides will try to bring him [her] down</I><BR/><BR/>You are even more of a "Leninist" than I am, my head likes that, but my heart won't buy it yet.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for the reasoned commentary.David Seaton's Newslinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269813419598042699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646589.post-40164560610940352872008-02-24T01:00:00.000+01:002008-02-24T01:00:00.000+01:00Adlai Stevenson perhaps? I think I 'get' what you ...Adlai Stevenson perhaps?<BR/> <BR/>I think I 'get' what you are saying...[although I could be wrong]. <BR/><BR/>A new voice that only inspires actually undermines the real duty of the American people to actually get involved? We end up sitting on our hands waiting for the guy to deliver?<BR/><BR/>I can understand that one could have a problem with his experience, or lack of. But I see many experienced 'insiders' who have gotten on the bandwagon. [Our own recipe of kool-aid]? <BR/><BR/>So, I guess I'm missing your point. What is it you see that's behind the curtain? Pardon the term, but do you see evil?<BR/><BR/>How's this...I would want Obama to be able to fail. I would want that the people who want him to be the president, would be able to see just how hard the other sides will try to bring him [her] down. To expose the truth. To actually see and feel what we really stand for. <BR/><BR/>We elected a guy who had a "secret plan" to end a war four decades ago. What a disaster that was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
