149. Rabble Rouser Pitt
President Obama has a moral obligation as Commander in Chief to do the right thing in this situation. He presented a well reasoned argument that I found convincing. If you weren't so interested in being popular on Cynics Undergound, you might have found the arguments compelling. I think you sometimes get in "writer' mode and want to generate enthusiasm in your readers at the expense of making a moral and rational response to a sincere argument from the President. Your false analogy rhetoric is blatantly irrational and mere propaganda. I guess that's journalism. And apparently you fancy yourself a journalist. I do not find journalist opinion pieces to be particularly persuasive. Interesting - maybe. Persuasive, no. But the majority of the cynical rabble on this site love it when an articulate leader emerges to lead them to further feelings of outrage that helps to compsenate for their sense of powerlessness in today's complex society. Enjoy the limelight Pitt. Maybe you will make it big someday and be the Leftwing version of Glenn Beck.
