64. Sorry. But too often the "he campaigned for/did not campaign for" argument
Is in fact used as a mans to try and squelch dissent, by transferring the responsibility for policy from the ones in power (Obama, congress) to the voter/poster.

We are NOT, as a group or as individuals, the ones responsible for this escalation policy.

That would be the president.

When he takes this step, he takes possession of the policy, and it becomes HIS responsibility.

Your responsibility as a citizen is to speak out and try to act if you oppose this policy.

My sense is that you support it, and mainly do so because of the man pursuing it.

Correct me if I am wrong.
