Anybody see the former Obama staffers on Colbert?

One of them in the NSC talked about how politics never, not once in 8 yrs, EVER creeped into what they do.

Now it is ONLY about politics.

1. I don't like everything Obama did.

3. Not sure what that has to do with this thread.

4. I thought/think it's really clear.

"One of them in the NSC talked about how politics never, not once in 8 yrs, EVER creeped into what they do."

Now read my comment. Not sure where there could be a disconnect.

I was also being a little(very little) lighthearted, hence the smile.

2. I highly recommend their podcast, "Pod Save America."

Didn't see them on Colbert, but will look for it. If it was last night, it's probably on my DVR.

But Pod Save America and Slate's Trumpcast are required listening for me.

6. Not sure this is strictly true

I may be a bit pedantic here, but there was the whole "I'll have more flexibility after the election" bit with Putin. That was all driven by politics. Not really saying that he was wrong, but politics is SUPPOSED to influence foreign policy and national security policy. And Obama was quoted more than once saying something to the effect that he wasn't elected to start wars. I'm pretty sure it was considered in the whole "classification of torture photos" decision. Doesn't mean it was decisive, but gosh, I hope they considered what the people want.
