Regarding perceived "failures" in "un-precedented levels" of administration openess: [View all]
Adults know that problems in relationships are not usually 100% "the other guy" and that . . .
in order to identify what degree of culpability the other person DOES actually own, so that you/s/he can authentically deal with it, one needs to begin by separating out and identifying one's own level of fault/error.
May I suggest that the hate Obama crowd begin with examining their own demands that the President of us ALL do precisely what THEY exclusively want on their blindered single-issue(s) - that he do it perfectly to their exclusive specifications - and - that he do it FOR NOTHING, in return, OR ELSE!
No matter how much you might wish things were different, this IS politics and President Obama is damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't with some people and that's the SUM & TOTAL of their own coalition-building and the President knows it.
Would you invite such people to your deals, where they could hurt not only you, but much MUCH WORSE, hurt your friends and associates at a crucial time of their own vulnerability too?
No. you. would. not!
And before you jump my shit about this post, recognize that what I am saying is NOT about your ISSUES, but about the absolutely static zero-sum manner in which you pursue them, which, to some of us who might support you otherwise, looks an awful LOT like INTENDED FAILURE on the purported issue, perhaps in favor of other (intentionally or otherwise) hidden issues. IOW, "Meet the 'new' boss. SAME as the old boss."
