(1,135 posts)that "We're winning" remark is stupid and insensitive, I agree. So, I'm not getting your point.
This, I do get.....
I hate politics and worse yet, I haven't a real clue on how to play that game. It's an alien concept for me.
That hurt me in my career. Once a co-worker came to me when I was in the midst of yet, another controversy, saying "You're right, but it's just politics...." I had no idea what the f she meant.... seriously. I thought I was on the side of "right". But that doesn't matter in politics.
What I do know, is that 95% or more of what I hear and read, can't be taken with a grain of salt and it's just words to fill the void in people's lives.
Maybe I do have much to learn about a format like DU. It's new to me, as all things PC are to me, as I'm very new to it as well. Being retired, I have the time to learn internet stuff and read and post on liberal sites.
But, I can only be myself. Though I'm learning (trying) to mellow my outspokenness.
But I still don't know if you agree with Schieffer or not; that Obama's administration is even more secretive compared to others. That's the point of the article.
