It is not a question of smartness but of awareness. I'm prepared to accept that Obama knew nothing about Benghazi or the politicking of the IRS, but he MUST have condoned the tap on AP. Holder hasn't the wit to know that the leak was even a problem in the first place.
Regardless of which political powerhouse holds the position of the POTUS in the Oval Office; there are limitations to the person behind the desk. No one can be everywhere; and people make wrong decisions even with the best intentions. With this said; measure careful the limitus test against Obama.
If you held your mouth shout with Bush II, Bush I and even Reagan; practice again as another repeat. If you vocalized your disappointment with Clinton, as a democrat voter; speak freely.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
