Proof of my "RubeGoldbergia" point:
I heard that the document offered by President Obama, which defining the next DECADE of responsibilities between The United States and Afghanistan, was 10 pages long.
While the defining jewel of President Obama's "New America" (a signature that extended Medicaid to the entire population) -- took 2,800 pages!!!!!

Charlie Rose: "Steve Coll is CEO of the New America Foundation."
..the "New America" .. .. "Foundation" ?????
Why doesn't Charlie speak to the incongruity of that????
Or if Mr. Coll actually MEANS IT, ..then maybe Mr. Rose should inform Mr. Coll that Barack Obama is already seated in that chair?
And why can't these self-appointed CEO's of "New America" use their "Pulitzer Prize winning" talents to conceive a new name for their new country? ..why do they have to lean on, and dirty the memory of the name "America", in their effort to legitimize their new envisionment???
May I suggest "RubeGoldbergia"?

"Confront the facts head on."
"To think honestly where they (facts) may lead you."
Oh Charlie, you won't get your head around this because the first casualty of war is the truth.

On Wednesday 5/2/12 at 9PM EDT NBC presented the Obama Hour. In that hour America and the world learned that President Obama is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful CIC that America has ever known. That he is a veritable Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon all rolled into one. That the decision to launch the assault on OBL was as momentous a decision as Eisenhower giving the GO to D Day on 6/6/44. Or as nerve wracking as watching the launch of the Doolittle Raid 700 miles out from Japan in February 1942. It was not only a heart warming experience that NBC produced but it makes one feel secure when in bed at night that America has someone like President Obama watching over us all. Thank You to NBC and all the White House participants who took their valuable time to relive those harrowing moments in the White House.
