Reply #291: NO ONE runs an organization as complex as the POTUS

[maxsolomon]

not a banking CEO basking in CDO profits, not the Pope, not Putin or the Premier of China.

you seem to 'dimly or dumbly' forget THAT. all this 'Obama did this, Obama did that' is just much BS as it was during President Cheney's terms. the Obama ADMINISTRATION did this - a huge group of people making collective decisions in a rigidly proscribed, federally regulated manner. so WHY did they?

can we get some context or clarification on this issue from the Feds (#1, is this a new provision? a leftover from the Cheney Administration? did Obama recommend it? did Kerlikowske? who did?) prior to declaring Obama personally responsible for the ongoing Drug War and 'worse than Clinton'? which, to me, means strategically astute enough to be re-elected in a nation where inattentive, 'dim and dumb' rubes prone to hysteria cast the deciding votes, based on how RW propaganda affects their butthurt little feelings, and not on verifiable information.

if he personally orders his Drug Czar to aggressivly lobby this recommendation in all 50 legislatures, i will agree that the Drug War is being 'ramped up', and proceed to get my 'dim and dumb' knickers in a twist.
