So, let me be clear, lest those who accuse declare that I am biased. Indeed I am, but not based on speed.
I do not believe that Obama is malicious, or calculated (entirely), in his desire to do this country's bidding. He is rather - naive! It is just as dangerous. He has confidence in people and systems that are the antithesis to our system of governing.
There will be more Tony Rezkos as he goes along. Only much more will be at stake when the next one gains his confidence. For example, as he himself has said in fending off criticism about his dealings with Tony Rezko, he says that when he finally realized that he and Tony were going to have to part ways, he said that he would first try to 'talk' to Tony before rejecting him. This shows that Obama doesn't understand what can happen if one has confidence in talking. Because when one 'talks' with another in a potentially volatile situation, the opposing person, realizing the opportunity can most easily go along with the conversation initiator in desiring to maintain relationship, with the entirely wrong motive. And to trust that the person is genuine with whom one wants to talk, is potentially to set one's self up for a fall.
For example, say that one in the future wants to 'talk' to Russia after some event has taken place. Suppose that the 'talk' leads to discussion of disarmament. Suppose that we comply, and they do not! But we come away with a feel good attitude as though much was accomplished because the fearless leader 'trusts' in the other's good will. Will the guard be down? Destruction can come in a single hour.
