In reply to the discussion: Noam Chomsky blasts Obama: He has no moral center [View all]DevonRex
(22,541 posts)a group of activists, a group of supporters even, just after his inauguration. President Barack Obama revealed that about himself. Uh huh. Right.
Just supposing it were true, and knowing how intelligent this man is, do you, do any of you, really believe that he would show that lack of moral center to a group of activists? To a group whom he welcomed gladly? To then go out to the public and spread their impressions?
Or is it more likely that there were perhaps some unrealistic expectations held by a member of that group and that disappointment led to imprudent comments afterwards? Or is it even more likely that this is nothing more than rumor, made up out of whole cloth? For what we have here is an unsourced anecdote, nothing more.
I would have expected better of people here, really. To be completely honest, it is kind of sick to see this taken as Truth. I won't even comment on the rejoicing.
