(135,425 posts)I have a very short fuse when it comes to people taking a matter of major national import, a major policy speech that explained POTUS's thinking to the nation, coming here on DU and making it about THEM. This ain't a time for "Me, me, meeeee." IMO.
I suppose I should be more understanding, but I can't fathom anyone who would be so desperate to make a "sale" that they couldn't understand what Obama said in that speech. Joe Philly summed it up brilliantly--al-Assad needs to take the damn deal.
It's obvious this president isn't a "warmonger." He's a thoughtful, intelligent leader who gives a shit. His nuance and depth weren't too much for me to sort out--I had no difficulty sorting out what he was saying--I feel the same way he does.
