(7,447 posts)but the argument you are making ain't that far off from what I believe Whoopi was trying to convey.
you just said it with more nuance and complexity that writing it down on a message board allows vice an oral statement on a TV show.
But I would propose to you that if Whoopie read that, she'd agree with most of it.
Put another way, my read of what Whoopie was saying was slow it down a bit, recognize that your words and actions have impact, and think through when you need to go 100 percent full speed in the limelight, and when you need to sit back and work behind the scenes...when you need to publicly criticize, and when you need to privately exhort...and yes, make sure you have a full understanding of how things work before you go all in on something.
And no, no man, woman, or anyone has a full knowledge of how Congress works the first month they are there, don't care how smart they are.
