That’s not all I have to say regarding this, but it pretty much covers the sentiment. In a time where it was beginning to seem that the US media were completely unable to fire off real, unmitigated criticism of the current administration, we get a clear example to the contrary. Now, that said, this is not something completely out of the blue. There are many others who’ve been directing a critical voice and eye towards the current administration, but I’m glad that someone said the words that he did, on national television and to so many people. I think this is the real sign of the changing tides. The question that remains is whether or not our legal and justice system will turn towards those responsible for the current state of affairs and ask of them that they make reparations for their decisions. Accountability is important, and it is just as important as considering individuals innocent until proven guilty.

This is the level we’re at now. I just don’t understand how people couldn’t see this before. He tries to “keep expectations low”? Well, if they polled for an approval rating how well he’s doing in that department, I’m sure it’d be quite high compared with his overall rating. Are we finally getting to the point where people see him for what he really is? I think regardless of whether you look at his presidency as a snapshot or as a whole, as he recommends, both cases yield a similar view, one requiring low expectations.
