Greenwald's Latest - He is counter punching to great effect!

159. Thank you for that.

"It is not desirable or fulfilling to realize that one does not trust one's own government and must disbelieve its statements, and I tried, along with scores of others, to avoid making that choice until the facts no longer permitted such logic." And this is kind of where I am now. I want to think the Obama administration to be above the things it is being accused of doing. But I think I am disillusioned. It is like admitting to the Reagan statement that government is not the solution, but it is the problem.

I can accept a change of mind. I have to admit to not reading much of Greenwald's blogs. It sounds like he wanted to believe Bush and had a moment of epiphany. And that is what I must be going through with the present administration. It is painful. I have to admit I don't like a number of choices Pres. Obama has made. And a couple are the bringing along with him to DC some undesirable people from Chicago, and we have one of them back screwing with Chicago. Two things about Obama. He has been wooed by the powers that be and the president does not really have a lot of power. I remember Clinton saying that once you reach the presidency, you may as well be a virtual person (paraphrasing). What pisses me off is I defended him to the max. DINO.

I was going to link this some how and have had a brain fart. But Bush got a lot of things done by being the president with the most signing statements, and no body really contested them. I guess this statement is like a dangling participle. Somehow I had it fitting into my reply.

I am working hard at learning and trying to figure all this out.

I wanted to ask, was it true that Greenwald supported Citizens United? I have seen that said.
