That may be true, but we only know what we know, and the political opposition to the deal should have been obvious. Trying to sneak it by was stupid, stupid, stupid.
I'm not inclined to trust the Pres, but he really needs to come up with a better defense than saying anyone opposed is a bigot. That only works for demorats. It pees Conservatives off and makes us more truculent.
I meant to say I AM inclined to trust the President now. He said there would be things in this war that we wouldn't understand. THis is one of them.
