Having a talk with the BigJ and wondering what others think.
If I had to pick reasons why I dont like 0bama, in the toip 3 or 5 I would have put, Chelsea Manning.
But now thats changed. What I dont understand is what took so long? Why now? Why not 6 months ago? or 7 years ago?
Why the total 180? Bear in mind, its a 180 from his admins policy not his rhetoric. His policy was a 180 from his rhetoiric. Which was also a big part of why I dont like the guy. But now it seem's hes come full 360... hes acting as he says instead of the oposite. Which is wierd.
Lets discuss this. Why is 0bama still 0 after finally doing something he said? Albeit so late it probably will have lasting damage on Manning personal stability and life, damaged the entire left's credibility and contrary to a pretty authoritarian policy on political secrets and data collection he and the democratic party has been holding fast on (along with the GOP).
Was 0bama doing this, JUST to spite progressives in the dem party that were using it as a reason to argue against the establishment? Now they have less legs to stand on.
Did he not really do anything, and it was pressure from those very same progressives that forced his hand? After the election has come to an end, what leverage could they possibly have had to force his hand anyway? I am dubious that is the cause.
what does though think?
