Look, I apologize for letting my irritation with all the carping about the President I've seen on FR lately get the better of me today. But here's the full text of your post which drew my cranky response:

He and Rove figured there'd be quite an outrage over the amnesty deal so they made up a list of actions that could quiet the base down or at least get the story off the front page. Going to the moon for one. 1.5 Billion for "helping marriages" for another. And now the money shot - recess appointing a judge. As I said before, smart politics.

You wrote in the declarative, not in a hypothetical manner — not what you think may have motivated the President to do this recess appointment, but what actually did. Accordingly to your declarative statement, it was all about politics. Nothing more.

To be fair to you, I've seen much, much worse posted over the last several days. But I am still so tired of the type of cynicism and, yes, sanctimony in such posts that I lost patience when I came across yours today.

Don't be too understanding. It was an obvious attempt to introduce the "amnesty bs" - an exceedingly contentious and overrought issue that has suffocated this forum in divisiveness this past week - into an unrelated, postitive thread. There was nothing innocent about it.
