Politics

It's pretty funny how Obama criticizes his actions and gets away with it.
"Obama’s flight from responsibility punctured the stratosphere in his recent speech on “the Future of Our Fight against Terrorism” at the National Defense University in D.C. In the speech Obama seemed to position himself as the loyal opposition to his own administration.
It’s pretty rich to hear complaints about the vast federal bureaucracy from people ideologically devoted to making it vaster still.”
He worried that “perpetual war … will prove self-defeating, and alter our country in troubling ways.” Look at the current situation at Guantanamo Bay, Citizen Obama chided, “where we are force-feeding detainees who are being held on a hunger strike … Is this who we are? Is that something our founders foresaw?” Obama pronounced himself “troubled” by the proliferation of drone strikes in an ever-expanding war and “the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable.”
All valid concerns, compassionately expressed. So how can we get this guy into the room when the big decisions are being made?"
If only this guy was the president. How funny.
