You take the high road, and I'll take the low road

It's a line from a famous lament of Scottish lore, and a sign of just what has come of the one who claimed to be "a uniter, not a divider." President Obama fired General Stanley McChrystal today for comments not necessarily attributable to him and to save face in the eye of the public. He needed to look tough, which unfortunately he could never do. He had an opportunity to take the high road and gain some strength in that  particular situation, but instead chose to go the low road and add one more person under that famous Obama bus. I predict more people under that bus by the end of the summer, because that is a way to play his last card; the victim card. If I were Rahm Emmanuel or Eric Holder, or Robert Gibbs, I'd keep an extra eye out for buses!

  1. The victim card is the most important and least written about concept in today's world.
