81. Treating things couched like that as though they already happened is unwarranted.
Edited on Sun Mar-07-10 11:12 AM by No Elephants
However, experience with many administrations, including Obama's, tells us that things couched like that may be fiction, or they may be trial balloons, or leaks that were intended by the POTUS, or leaks that were not intended by the POTUS.

When I see something I don't like couched in those terms, I write my representatives, just in case. Especially, in this case, where a reaction to public opinion might be in play.

I cannot be as loud as Rush Limbaugh, because I don't have his platform. But, I would at least email the WH to say I hope this is not true, so the WH does not forget that not all of us are in lock step with Limbaugh and McConnell.
