who is currently in the white house, taking security clearances away from his critics? or did you think obama was still in office.

Umm, the point of this post was to show the politically biased media hypocrisy.  Where was the outrage in 2013 when Obama was pulling security clearances?  Non-existent.  TDS and unhealthy hatred are not good qualities in supposedly non-partisan reporters and media types.

lol .. relax .. I tried that reading approach... also, never apologize for your educational level, education is an accumulation knowledge not a display of natural intelligence

 

now I see how he decided to do it ...

after ignoring the current rules in place for some period of time he had a knee jerk reaction to Snowden's use of his clearance to leak Top Secret document,

That was his arbitrary measures enforce the rules because he had been embarrassed

i'm not apologizing for my education level. i know there are people here that love to talk smack about me and my oh so superior ways. lol.

 

i hardly call a government wide reassessment a knee jerk reaction or arbitrary measures. trump's pull was a knee jerk reaction. and he had no shame in it, just tweeting away...

When you carry tablets down from the mountain top you will be accused of acting superior.

 

If you did indeed consider that previous comment an affront to your intelligence, I am truly sorry. That was not my intent

I know the written word is often taken the wrong way, have had people take what I say the wrong way quite often.  

 

But allow to to give you an outsider's viewpoint... you often come across as condescending, as well as very deflective.

 

However, when you take the time to actually respond in your own words, I find your posts interesting and even agree with things you say.

 

Saying this in a manner that is not intended to aggravate you, just being honest.  Hopefully it allows you some insight.
