David Remnick's awesome 18 page article is masterful journalism. I just liked the whole thing. I felt like I was in the room listening to PBO's brilliance. His truth and authenticity are mind-blowing. It is easy to see why Michelle loves him so much. How special and bless we are to have him as our President.<br />Smilinglady Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-36701128601709477972014-01-20T16:47:32.517-06:002014-01-20T16:47:32.517-06:00I enjoy how you keep finding things on this topic....I enjoy how you keep finding things on this topic.

I put, "The only time I get frustrated is when folks act like it’s not complicated and there aren’t some real tough decisions, and are sanctimonious, as if somehow these aren’t complicated questions. " on my clipboard because it resonated with me, too. <br /><br />I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't understand the complexity and the value of multiple perspectives and legitimates concerns by both or all parties--- to run a taco stand. It should be self-evident that monumental tasks are not as simple in real life as they are in the head of someone working with sketches, strong personal biases, a tendency to choose closure and certitude over understanding, and a lack of understanding of Presidential powers and what being a representative of the whole country means. <br /><br />So many people who have no clue about what executive power is and how to wield it think themselves to be great strategists and tacticians (ever clueless about logistics) to a degree that is delusional. I hope that historians will give Obama his due, and that the country doesn't learn to appreciate him more through a following administration as bad or worse than the Bush administration. <br /><br />wileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234314999465951053noreply@blogger.com
