I'm afraid Obama is becoming a politically charismatic politician whereas he was starting out as a leader.

I wonder if President Lincoln said to himself, “I know slavery is wrong, but the consequences of a Civil war are terrible. I can focus on all the other problems and just not mention slavery. I can be a good President by being honest, communicating to the people, and solving other important problems”

If President Lincoln did think such politically seductive thoughts he obviously did the courageous and difficult thing in the end. He chose the path that must to him have seemed the right thing to do regardless of the danger to the Union of losing the war, and the danger to himself personally of being known to history as the President that started a horrible war on former citizens.

I guess doing what is right before what is politically “necessary”; doing what should be done before doing other “important” things is the mark of a great President.

I thought President Obama was going to a Great President, now I am afraid he going to just be a politically charismatic popular President.

AUWE, the more things change the more they stay the same.

Too many are hiding "terrible truths" by invoking the "state secrets" privilege. We all need to say, "No more."
