You guys realize that just because you get to walk down to the Blue Bottle with your 8-of-10 girlfriend and her Kate Spade purse to buy $4 scones, 98% or more of the world's surface is far from that. I mean, of course you know that. And, you also know that Obama is an intelligent, and good guy. And, you also know that he had the best intentions before coming into office.

So, wouldn't you think that maybe he has had to be pragmatic about his decisions? Occam's razor, right?

The world isn't black and white, and when one is responsible for hundreds of millions of lives, a person may need to take the most pragmatic approaches that are available.

You really want to change this (instead of just complaining on internet forums)? Figure out a way to address the root problem. And, if you can't do that, invent new approaches that a president can use that are better than what's available currently.
