Well, we are just now beginning to see why. Stay tuned, we will learn the ball players one at a time.
This is, um, kind of a big deal, and a big policy shift if he means it. Neither Bush nor Obama went this far, which is why GTMO exists and people talk about "trials" in NYC and garbage... If true, no more "POW for you" for ISIS, AQ, the Taliban, al-Shabab or Boko Haram.
dude, I wouldn't skip the game for the SOTU, much less the "sore loser" response. I will say, though, having seen none of it, that a Navy buddy of mine is pretty tied in with MA politics, and he says that if we thought that Obama, um, leaned on the teleprompter a bit when he was President, that we have another thing coming. He says that Kennedy's gone full-on Anchorman before. That if his name was Joe McCormick or something he wouldn't be close to politics.
He is right though. Dems are talking abut ceos making 300 Times the wage of their workers? THis is not a tangible thing for the average American to comprehend. But you know what is? My 401k that has practically doubled over the last year. I also see the boom in the economy through my profession. There are a ton of new large construction projects going on all over the states. The economy is on the rise! We are finally making headway on dealing with the illegal immigration problem we have. I don’t necessarily agree with building a wall but hey if we get everyone to pay thier taxes we probably wouldn’t have nearvthe debt we have... What he said was mostly accurate.
I find it ironic that a Kennedy (worth $15-55M, per quick wikipedia check) is talking about CEOs making 300x the wage of the worker. Maybe we can all make money the way his fam did...bootlegging?
