In reply to the discussion: So is every complaint about Obama wrong? Or some people just don't like to hear them? [View all]bhikkhu
(10,715 posts)I won't apologize for going on recently about the NDAA as a non-issue that changes nothing, which might be mistaken for defending Obama, but I try to balance it in most posts by pointing out that the real issue is the ongoing war.
If Obama doesn't have a plan to end the war, then that's a failure and worth criticizing. No republican would come up with a workable plan either, of course, but expectations for competence and good government are much greater when it comes to our own party.
...I don't mind long-winded and sometimes difficult debates. Sometimes it takes awhile to work through a complicated issue that way, even if no one admits to ever accepting differing opinions. For whatever reason, learning often comes in the course of argument, and is hard to gain otherwise.
