"President Obama Has Earned Our Disapproval" The Atlantic, Nov 2014President Obama Has Earned Our Disapproval
..."Among Democrats, who vary in their assessments of Obama, there is still broad agreement that he's better, warts and all, than Bush was, and better than John McCain or Mitt Romney would've been. Fair enough.
This isn't an indictment of Obama voters. Nor is Obama without accomplishments.
But here's what I find alarming: Confronted with a president who
1) spied on every American;
2) covered up torture;
3) continued a War on Drugs ruinous to minorities and whole foreign nations;
4) killed hundreds of innocents in drone strikes;
5) waged war illegally and killed an American citizen without due process (while suppressing the legal reasoning used to do so);
6) let high-ranking national-security officials break the law with impunity; and
7) persecuted whistleblowers
-confronted with all of those transgressions, more than four in 10 Americans still approve of the job Obama is doing. And most of them are loyal Democrats. Partisanship and tribalism are overriding the moral compass of too many liberals, who ought to be furious with Obama. National-security policies he unilaterally pursued will be harming the U.S., its moral standing, and its most vulnerable citizens for years if not decades to come, especially since Democrats are poised to make civil illibertarian Hillary Clinton their party's next leader.
To see it all with open eyes is to disapprove."

What do you guys think about this assessment? I'm thinking he makes some very valid points.

Note the number of views and replies the troll / mole is able to garner. This ties up valuable resources if nothing else but also sets up several confrontations of personalities as well. Nothing like sowing disharmony amongst an already dispirited troop Well done good an noble mole. Well done. (Note, this is not one of mine, if it is one of yours I offer my hearty congratulations)

Just a few of the lines of the thread not the actual comments are listed above. There are so many inane things going on in this thread it really has to be viewed in its native environment. As always, use protection when entering and wash up before coming back.
