I'm of two minds here. On the one hand, I'm reminded of the final scened in Trading Places. "Cracked crab or lobster?""Can't we have both?"
On the other hand, I remember a Chinese saying from the I Ching which says that if a ruler stays mysterious, the people will not know what to think of him (and implies that it is superior behavior on his part).
Various writers.. Robert Heinlein among them, suggest that it is unwise to attribute to conspiracy what can be attributed to accident and error. My corollary is that, "It may be rare, but when there is a true conspiracy, it's much worse than you would have imagined."
Where are we? I dunno.
Hmmm, good thoughts all. I subscribe to that Robert Heinlein POV in general but in relation to 0bama I would say that there are far too many instances of similar behavior leading to like results to attribute to accident or error.
As for ‘crab or lobster,’ I definitely say “let’s have both!”
