29. part of it is damage control...

Jul 2013

From partisans loyal to the President. I ran afoul of these folks a few days ago ( the " hair on Fire " people) and got a little testy because it seemed I was awash in a sea of rabid partisans. You can imagine my chagrin when I was informed that I was blocked ( rightly ) from the Obama group. In my own defense, in scanning the latest threads, seeing a post that seemed to be ridiculing those who are concerned about the state of our Liberties drew my attention. I know the groups are clearly marked, but I did not realize I had wandered into the obama group. Obviously, I was in the one place that is all about Party Loyalty.
My bad.

Anyways, I would expect to see all kinds of spin on this issue. Mainly to protect the President. So, if you just wanna talk about the issue of spying, leave the President out of it.
