There are probably many good economic reasons (and very likely strategic ones) to let the UAE deal go through, but at the same time there are lots and lots of questions and concerns. Those are all lost now under a tidal wave of hysteria, half-truth and outright bullsh!t put forward by the democrat party and their media allies, who were allowed to spin and lie and bloviate and play on our fears for three friggin' days while the White House sat mute and took a nice relaxing holiday weekend off.
I know they hate dealing with the media, and God knows they've got legitimate reasons to do so. But damnit, it's part of the job. There's things I hate doing on my job, but they have to be done, so I just roll up my sleeves, grit my teeth and do them anyway.
And now as a result of their refusal to effectively communicate, this deal that Bush wants to go through is most likely dead, dead, dead, and several years from now we'll probably be looking back at this episode as a squandered opportunity.
Thanks for speaking your mind.
I have to hit the streets within a few months and work at defeating sitting incumbent Bill Nelson, and I have to do it in the most liberal county in Florida. It seems to me that the WH is intent on putting bullets in my opponent's guns.
You are exactly right BTW, handling the media is their job, and they don't just get to ignore it because they don't like to, they have a responsibility to those of us out here who are already starting to gear up for the next electoral battle.
When it comes to this WH, the MSM is like a rabid, junkyard dog...everyone knows that.
However, to sit and piss off a rabid junkyard dog, then act surprised and indignant at the fact that it tried to bite you is disingenuous at best, downright hypocritical at worst.
