Obama tapped Rahm. How'd that work out? We don't know.
Obama might (gasp!) offer Hillary a position worthy of a top-notch individual. How might that work out? We don't know.
Obama didn't demand-from-above that Joe Schmo must go. How'd that work out? We don't know.
Juliebird had a fine post earlier (IMO) about the Senate seats about to be vacated. Time and energy put toward advocating good people being appointed to those seats seem better spent than baiting and feeding trolls here.
Opting out of voting altogether, never ever again, or denouncing a party affiliation forever and ever, well, it seems a bit extreme to me. Who's giving Joe all the power in that scenario?
Yes, I understand the past repeats itself. Yes, I understand paying attention to the tide AND doing something about it. I don't only WANT to hear/read different opinions than mine; I NEED to hear/read that! Political discussions, arguments, whatnot, are like disco-balls...multi-faceted.
I'm simply not ready to judge or dismiss or "be disappointed by" (whine) the next administration after two weeks and cast Obama into the dungeon. And I need to add: this will be the ONLY time I will type "OS" in terms of Obama. He's not that to me, and I suspect I'm not alone.
GG is a journalist who informs me and from whom I have learned much, I'd say particularly about FISA. And how'd that work out in the new administration (not yet in place)? We don't know.
