What I appreciate is that you took time to think it through, get some facts, ratchet down the disappointment and really assess the way things are, not the way we wish them to be. I support the President on this, although I am still not excited about the pick. If that puts me in the company of Thomas Sowell, well so be it. It could be worse.
In my opinion, one of the President's strongest leadership qualities is his ability to change strategies as the situation on the ground changes. His goals never change, but he does not blindly press on using yesterday's playbook.
So, uh, welcome back sort of. I look forward to your carefully thought out posts, as well as the very entertaining in the heat of the moment ones too. You have to admit, it is a fairly effective way to create a, um...legacy. ; )
