The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are I think part of just a general pattern that weve seen that is, would be, considered ridiculous if it werent so sad, Obama said Monday, while defending his administrations rollout of the Iran nuclear deal.
The president's comment is entirely true, of course, and perfectly reasonable as he defends this historic agreement to put a nuclear weapon out of Iran's hands for good. But that isn't the reason President Obama decided to voluntarily drag The Donald into this before beating up on him for his disrespect of POWs.
And so when you get rhetoric like this, maybe it gets attention and maybe this is just an effort to push Mr. Trump out of the headlines, but its not the kind of leadership that is needed for America right now...
In fact, its been interesting when you look at whats happened with Mr. Trump, when hes made some of the remarks that, for example, challenged the heroism of Mr. McCain, somebody who endured torture and conducted himself with exemplary patriotism, the Republican Party is shocked. And yet, that arises out of a culture where those kinds of outrageous attacks have become far too commonplace and get circulated nonstop through the Internet and talk radio and news outlets

(53,661 posts)If you were working for the POTUS, what new cabinet position do you think should be created that you'd be best at?
Or is there an existing one you think you'd be best at doing?
I had suggested one for someone called 'Secretary for the 51% of Humanity' (women) and would like to know what you think the cabinet needs to include.
Hey, if we're gonna dream, let's make it a big one!
And that's to take the sting out of Obama leaving. I really would like to see him longer, but he has earned his rest. I always think of the verse about recieving many crowns at the end of the Book...
This mess took a generation to create. I believe it'll take 8 to 16 years to recover... if possible. As we've lost so much.

Even for people who are not Jewish this is hurtful because of the love and empathy we all have for the humanity we lost in the Holocaust.
My dad took my son to Schindler's List. I couldn't bear to watch it.
His analogy is a poor and unfortunate comparison.
