BloggeRhythms 7/25/2012

Another name was recently added to the list of Democrats finding fault with the administration. This time it was Dianne Feinstein, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who said at a forum on Monday that “the White House has to understand that the disclosure of classified information is coming from its ranks.” Although she added that she didn't believe the president had leaked information.

And, then yesterday, she retracted her comments by stating that she really didn’t mean what she said and “regretted” having spoken.

I mention this today because this case resembles so closely that of Cory Booker, Newark's, mayor, who also soon took back a favorable comment about the incumbent’s competition which led me to an interesting suspicion.

Today, the world’s full of lawyers and even those who aren’t get plenty of legal insight from the myriad programs on TV taking place in the courtroom. And from those shows we all learn how attorneys manipulate questions and statements which they know are out of bounds, yet they still say them out loud so the jury can hear them and then, they quickly retract them. But, by then it’s really too late, because retraction or not, everyone now knows their real intent.

So, I’m pretty sure that that’s exactly what’s going on here. Because no matter where or when politicians take back their original words, due to party pressure or presidential displeasure, the original comments aren't forgotten and that's what sticks in the minds of the public.

Consequently, if you add up all the recent negativity about those in the White House coming from party allies and supposed supporters, one has to wonder who’s next to jump ship. And perhaps that’s why Mitt Romney left the country to visit overseas friends. Because he doesn’t have to worry about gaining supporters in the U.S. whereas the incumbent’s doing that for him all by himself.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
