You are very wrong dismissing her. I only posted it because she saw so much deeper than I did. I recognized it when I saw it and expected you to do so also.
Sioux Pal made it post of the day. And SS knew it was good as well. They saw it.
I have asked you repeatedly not to stack the deck and yet, here you are doing it again. While I respect both Sioux Pal and SS, I form my own opinions. Once again, I encourage you to do the same.
You are making a very bad mistake blowing her off (and almost everyone else) if you have any fidelity to sophisticated thought.
I see....if I don't agree with you, then I have no loyalty to "sophisticated thought". More deck stacking.
I admit that I am human and am prone to mistakes. However, in this situation, I don't think there is a true right or wrong but rather different interpretations of what's happening.
All those people you are dismissing are not a bunch of fools. They are very smart: Carlson, Herbert, Eugene Robinson, Charles Blow, Maddow, Olberman, Stewart, Colbert and on and on.
So what? Smart people make mistakes. Besides, all those people have an agenda that I don't. They need to bolster their ratings.
According to you, none of them sees as clearly as you do and are basicall full of hot air.
Nope. I just think some of their takeaway is silly. Let's go back to Carlson. Here's what she said in one part of her article:
"And yet for weeks, the administration has treated BP as an equal, a partner at press conferences, rather than a breaker of laws, scores of them. Eliot Ness didn’t share a podium with Al Capone."
First of all, what does Carlson know about leadership. What has she led? Was it a major corp or a country? Secondly, why would a strong leader intentionally antagonize the very people you want to fix the problem? We are not at war with BP....well maybe you and Carlson are.......but not the rest of us. You want the two org., BP and the feds, to work together as smoothly and as efficiently as possible so that the problem is resolved expeditiously while protecting your backside.....see Holder and lawsuit.
I give Obama an 'A' on this one.
"A strong leader bides his time, keeps the culprits at arm’s length and acts like the boss. And he doesn’t invite them into the White House. Meetings with BP should be held in a windowless conference room at the Justice Department. That would prevent scenes like the one yesterday, when BP executives leaving the West Wing met the press as if they were heads of state."
Huh? Apparently, Carlson continues to believe this is a major war. I find her opinion on this subject to be a rather silly, old fashioned and a bit specious. Sorry.
"Obama’s Oval Office address was the latest in a series of actions that seem overly reactive to the drumbeat that he’s not showing enough fury. The public, which likes to see its leaders in control, is clamoring for no such thing."
Finally, I think I agree with her hear. I think Obama needs to pay less attention to the talking heads.....esp. the ones on the left........and do what he does best.......lead logically and effectively.
Really!?
Yes, we are both smart, but neither of us could nail it like she did. It is your lose you cannot see it.
Well then, its my loss....I don't see what you see. |
