Most people here have no clue about this and are instinctively going off half-cocked, just like they do when anything else of significance comes down the pike.
I commend your effort to take a neutral stance, because as you said that you had no idea what this was all about.
I do think the prez needs a new PR person tho- this has always been a huge downfall when not campaigning.
I give them all an D on that issue.
