First, the assumption that he knew that the photo taken would end up on the @TheDemocrats "memorial day" tweet is disingenuous. {/QUOTE]
… photos are taken of him all the time, sometimes unbeknownst to him … in all likely hood he knew nothing about it and had nothing to do with it … I do really think they have some "lowly employee" that maintains the account.
Speaking of disingenuous, why do you keep trying to tell me what I didn’t say? I never said B HO knew. My comment was directed to your post that it was “sent by an intern or some lowly employee”. They have “lowly employees” at the White House or DNC does not surprise me in the least. We agree that someone knew and failed to do the math to the optics.
Second, I suppose your being very selective in what you deem as an action.
No doubt. I just have low expectations for him.
Yes, he certainly took advantage of the situation by politically grandstanding some with his speech, but does that discount the respect he also paid? The question is rhetorical, because I believe already know your answer.
Can you see where your rhetorical question allows for him to “act stupidly” if he does something that is naturally expected of him to do? Do you remember the last time he didn’t place a wreath at Arlington and the poo-storm he got?
Don't get me wrong, I don't like the guy and am one of his biggest opponents …
Don’t get me wrong but I don’t really care much less believe you. You actually sound as if you are trying to defend Hobbes’ moronic deflections more so than Obama’s failed presidency.
