The are enough qualifications and spin that one can take what is clearly a testimony that Brack is an ambitious politician in a positive or negative light depending on ones predilections. Quote: "In retrospect, I think he saw the positions he held as stepping stones to other things and therefore approached his public life differently than other people might have.”
Not exactly withering fire.
This quote: “Who you take money from is a reflection of your knowledge at the time and your principles.” can be used as exculpatory or inculpatory as well. When Barack knew Reszko, he hadn't yet been convicted of any crimes, so, was his knowledge at the time damning?
Or this one on Trinity UCC: “It’s a church that would provide you with lots of social connections and prominent parishioners,” she said. “It’s a good place for a politician to be a member.
Not news, and it could be taken as just smart politics, and a lame but acceptable rationale for why Brack stayed for so long.
Does the article offer that William Ayers kicked off Barack's first campaign? Does it mention some of the backstabbing he did to get his State Senate seat? Any of the dirty tricks he supposedly used in Texas or the Caucus States to shut down Hillary's organizers and caucus goers?
I hate to say I'm going to have to buy a copy of The New Yorker. Maybe I'll finally go in for the root canal I've been putting off for so long ...
I hate root canals.....I’ve had more than my fair share....
