Jan 10, 2014:
At the end of a tirade inspired by pundits who he claims are over-reacting to Robert Gates revelations in his tell-all book about Obama & the Obama administration, MSNBC's Lawrence O Donnell offered this insight: "We do not elect presidents to trust generals. We do not elect presidents to trust anyone. We elect presidents to challenge everyone working in government to find the best available solutions to the problems presidents face on a daily basis. Some of their advisers will be right one day and very wrong the next. This president knows that. Everyone working in the White House knows that, except some of the people whose only mission in the White House is to try to figure out how to ask explosive questions when the cameras are rolling in the White House press briefing room." Really? Well, 1) if we don't elect presidents to trust anyone then I dont know why O'Donnell would want to protect Obama since he trusts everyone so much in his administration that he does not have any clue what they do. 2) I dont know of anyone who has ever said they are voting for a presidential candidate so they could challenge other people in government to help the president with his problems. 3) There are a whole bunch people who's only mission in the White House is to try to figure out how to ask explosive questions when the cameras are rolling in the White House press briefing room. They are called reporters. Sometimes referred to as White House Correspondents.
