I’ve been watching the protests outside the Republican convention. These people are protesting war and violence. Yet, they are resorting to violence, the thing they supposedly stand against.
One of the news outlets interviewed some of the protest participants. The news outlet showed them some pictures of important politicians. The participants interviewed did not have a clue who the pictures were of.
Obama is for peaceable resolutions to our foreign affairs. Yet, Obama has yet to just ask these protesters to stop their violence. While he is not “in control” of the protestors, he could be making a great point of the power of his word. He is not “in control” of Iran, but thinks his rhetoric is going to make a difference.
Perhaps Obama’s silence with the protesters are like his “present” vote. It makes no stand.
