"Hasty"? "decision"?

This was the rallying cry for years. It wasn't so much a decision as a basic principle, now thrown under the bus.

Everything Obama has done has been hasty and wrong. Nothing new here.

You are right, this wasn't hasty at all, it was their principle despite reason.

I don't believe it has been thrown under the bus though.....

.....They are just trying to make themselves seem more thoughtful, as if that is possible.

0bama has a special place to throw some things under the bus so that they are not destroyed, just kept out of sight until the coast is again clear.

"We've made some hasty decisions that are now going to take some time to unwind."

That's the motto of his administration.
