You’re hung up on his remarks.
His decision as a decision - whether plus or minus remarks - makes a great deal of sense to the vast majority on this thread. Dozens of excellent posts expounding upon the whys and wherefores. They aren’t reaching or straining for anything. It’s staring them and us and everyone right in the face.
I find your post a strain and a reach. You say the decision makes no sense but it’s his remarks you focus on.
Whatever...
Bush walks on water. News at eleven. Headline: Bush can’t swim.
I was so wrong to judge the President's decision by his own justifications for it. You made me see the light.
The president did a good thing today, but he did not walk on water.
Yeah, ping me when that happens.
