sure, it's fun to squabble and the back & forth on a political message board is what really makes participation fun
but I have to be honest and give credit where it is due! we all know that the country owes former Senator Harry Reid a big THANK YOU! Without his leadership and forward vision, we NEVER would have gotten Gorsuch or Kavanaugh seated on SCOTUS, so again, thanks Senator Reid! (yes, I know Kav isn't seated yet, but he will be, it is a foregone conclusion
NOW, here is something many folks don't know, we also owe a debt of gratitude to former President Obama! Good ole Barry created a blueprint for President Trump to follow as his administration continues its fight against sedition.
I just thought everyone should know, and hey - for the people that think that those of us on the right are able to fairly praise Obama for the things he did right, this is for you!
Flashback: Obama prosecuted staff leakers, gave lie-detector tests, ‘paranoid’
Should President Trump need a model to use to track down leakers inside his administration like the “anonymous” insider who challenged his authority in a New York Times op-ed, he need go no further back than the Obama administration that prosecuted leakers and shutout the media.
According to reports at the time from even New York Times journalists, no administration was tougher on leakers and punishing to the media than Obama’s, a saga reinforced by reporters who have called Trump’s team more forthcoming.
Criticism of Obama’s attacks on the media and leakers did not just come in tweets and TV appearances by journalists but in an official report from the Committee to Protect Journalists, authored by former Washington Post Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr.
“This is the most closed, control freak administration I’ve ever covered,” said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times, in the report.
