#70 Mike Blackadder – Well, one of the things Obama didn’t do which he said he would was given at least 5 days for everyone to review legislation. The pork was there, it shouldn’t have been, and the mechanisms for spotting it and removing it weren’t allowed. But, it’s all in there to see and it will be trackable on the site (supposedly) so at least he’s going to have to own what he’s done.
Unlike you seem to be, I’m not willing to throw all media and all dem politicians under the bus. People on both sides (and in the media) said things that weren’t right and I’m sure we’d agree on some of it (for example anything negative that was said about our soldiers in general).
But many Republicans tried to make the case that anyone who wanted to pull out was in some fashion calling the soldiers incompetent, or that they were “against” the soldiers. Folks who took it that far confused the issue and let a lot of other things get by without an appropriate level of notice.
As a non-solider, I can’t be bitter, but I am sad for them. I’m sad they haven’t gotten the health care they should have, there isn’t enough support for PTSD, and many of the facilities they have to put up with have been atrocious and that is entirely the doing of our own government who sent them to war. Disgusting.
