I hope I have quoted you properly here. Though I admire your sense of fair play, I do think that there have to be consequences for bad behavior. At least that's the way the rules are for kids that aren't responsible. I submit that the same rules that should apply to adults that “represent” themselves as responsible. Otherwise, the deviant behavior will continue.
I know that it's kind of Psych. 101, but this business of holding the President to significantly lower standards than your kids will get people killed. This is serious stuff! It's like enabling an alcoholic, except that a garden variety alcoholic can't do nearly as much damage as an irresponsible President. Right now, the O is going through his Anarchist stage. After he busts up the best country in the world, he'll reconstruct it into some sort of Socialist paradise.
Why would anyone want to enable this sort of destructive behavior? For God's sake, take this delinquent’s toys away from him!
My post is gone now, as I expected it would be. I was pretty angry last night. I mean, nambla, my God. I still can’t get my head around the deviant nature of this man, and who he enjoys associating with. When I said benefit of doubt, I meant overall, certainly not in this instance. This has all changed now. I offer little to impact his reelection chances, but I am prepared to do everything I can to work toward his defeat in 2012.
