(13,141 posts)but especially as more has come out about who is running the DEA
operations, I'm wondering how much he even was involved or
informed.
My pov is that if he had inherited a healthy economy, and had a humane
congress to work with, there would have been more attention given
sooner to many things. We don't know even a half of what he
has had to deal with, probably not even a tenth. We know he's
made mistakes, and taken bad advice; we know he's evolved
and is capable of evolving. He's a man who listens and makes
an effort to understand, not just to give lip service to listening.
He actively tries to learn, not to defend himself but to listen
and learn. This is a sign of a great man, in my opinion.
I don't know if he could have dealt differently with the DOJ raids in
his first term or not, with all else he had on his plate, and I expect
it could be political suicide to move too fast. I will never believe
(unless I hear it from him) that he doesn't care or have a
compassionate point of view on this, or that he is personally behind
the MM crackdowns. I believe he'll do all he can when he is able.
I do look forward to him fulfilling his promises, and more, in his
second term. Maybe I'll be proven wrong. But I'll vote for him.
