(62,325 posts)I have never seen anything like that here. And I've seen a whole lot of criticism of Congress, Diane Feinstein, Boehner, King and all the others who are not just NOT doing their jobs, but voting for policies that take away more and more of our Rights.
Why doesn't the President simply state that if what has been leaked is true, something will be done about it?
Instead, he agrees with it. I will not remain silent when a president we all worked so hard to elect supports Bush policies and boasts about it 'I have kept Bush policies'. Yes, he has and THAT is the problem and people are not going to be bullied into silence about it.
And each time he nominates another Republican to his cabinet, rather than put Democrats in those positions, which is WHY we supported him, to get rid of Republicans, he is going to get criticism.
The way for this to stop is for the President to start nominating Democrats to positions such as FBI Chief. If we wanted Republicans that's who we would have voted for. And to rid the government of all the Bush holdovers and replace them with Democrats. We won, did we not? That's one of the things you get to do when you win.
And he can start talking about ending Bush policies rather than stating as he did last week, 'I have kept Bush policies'.
If anyone is angry that people are seriously upset over seeing so many of Bush's policies still being implemented, some even strengthened, such as NCLB, that is too bad. If they know something other people don't know, then instead of jumping up and down like two year olds, accusing people of hating the president etc etc, let them present their information. Reasonable people will discuss things rationally with other reasonable people. They will NOT listen to those who come here with a list of talking points, most of which attack good Democrats and DUers.
