What Happened to Obama's Call for Civility of Speech?...pesky memo......
The ONLY one's who were supposed to obey that pesky memo were you and me......
As Americans, we expect a degree of civility and straight talk when it comes to policy, and we don't care for political games and posturing meant to distract us from the issues that matter. Unfortunately, our President has become one of the worst offenders against responsible, civil dialogue in today's political system. Is he alone in this? No, and anyone who argues otherwise is selling something. But, has he made civil dialogue in politics a figurehead of his approach to governing? Do his past statements come across as hypocritical? Well, yes. They absolutely do.
