Just watched Hardball. Just sad. The President is alone in anything that is going on. Either he [View all]

is in charge and a dictator or an ineffective CEO. That's what the meme is and sadly there is no one to stand up to the media on his behalf. Sure, he's President and big boy and should be able to take all the guff...AND HE DOES. This is just my rant about what I sense that is going on. Probably the most decent, smart, President we have had in a long time and you would think he is a lazy, stupid, community organizer that can't get anything done. Ebola is his fault ...nevermind the brave doctors going to serve and coming back here. Now folks want a Federal law to force a 21-day quarantine of folks coming from the infected countries. We want the government to take over the medical and scientific communities and we want the President to act like a dictator in doing so. The guests on Hardball tonight rattled off a list of events that they claim the President had no leadership in dealing with. They don't know just what the policies are..even though the policies are spelled out clearly by the President. Yes, we may not like the policies but please stop claiming that there are none. Chris asks...who was in charge of the ACA roll out...like Obama never named anyone (I guess he forgot that the person in charge actually was called on the carpet and had to resign) but let's pretend there never was anyone in charge.

It this kind of disingenuous that makes my head spin. Either the President is not doing his job or he is lying. The constant script is being played out by ALL media outlets. Because many things are accomplished behind the scenes..Turkey is on board, there is a coalition formed to fight against ISIL, Iran is also on board and all this was accomplished without great fanfare or the opposition bashing what was going on night and day. We can't get our teeth into it so it must not be happening. Blackwater thugs were finally sentenced, Benghazi culprits on trial, a soldier was returned from captivity amid much rancher, a NK prisoner was returned, the Justice Department is finally getting a chance to change sentencing guidelines for innocuous weed possession. Yes, I don't know what is going on...but it works for me.
