Degrees of ignorance

There are many degrees of ignorance. There are those who oppose President Obama through ignorance and don't want to know better. There are those who know better and oppose the President for political reasons. Those of us who support the President may oppose some of his policies, but not know all the facts affecting his decisions. I oppose the use of drones to kill suspected terrorists, but the President has more information than you or I do. There may be constraints on his actions imposed by the military-industrial complex.

In 1934, the American Liberty League, a precursor of the TEA Party, plotted a coup against FDR. That never happened. It is likely that the CIA played a leading role in the death of JFK in 1963. We know that the GOP is planning an impeachment attempt on President Obama if they do well in the elections in November of this year. There are occasional calls reported in the media for a coup to remove the President The Secret Service is probably busy dealing with other threats to his safety.

I trust President Obama to make the best decisions he can under the circumstances. He is not required to inform us of all the reasons why he decides one way or the other. I trust him. The opposition in the GOP has not offered in the past or in the present a credible alternative to Barack Obama. Is the there a single man or woman opposing the President who could do a better job? No there is not.
