    This guy has nothing to do with the Obama administration. He was in that advisory role for over 20 years.

    This post is intentionally misleading to push an agenda.

      It seems based on the article he took on the role during the administration. It will be interesting to see why it came to an end in the days ahead.

          Mr. Stuart Seldowitz, Acting Director for South Asia, NSC. It would’ve literally taken you less time to google this than to troll here.

              My link proves that he had an official position in the administration because it gives his title. What claim CNN makes is completely irrelevant to the question of whether the guy worked in an official capacity in the Obama admin, which he very clearly did. Something any intellectually honest person would be able to understand.

                  Yes, both democrats and republicans are deplorable. That’s precisely the issue.

                And he had that official title before the Obama administration. So there’s no association. Do you think every federal worker is swapped out for a new one every time the president changes?

                  No, my point is that US government as a whole is a deplorable regime regardless of which specific clowns happen to be the face of it at any given time. People like Seldowitz are what constitutes the permanent bureaucracy in US. And these people are the scum of the earth.

        The guy was in the role for over twenty years. Way before the Obama administration. That’s a fact.

        This article intentionally associates the actions of someone unrelated to the Obama administration… with the Obama administration.

        I don’t need to know their motives to point out that fact.

          The fact that US government has been consistently deplorable regarding of which party is in charge isn’t really the gotcha you seem to think it is.

              herpa durr indeed

              What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

                  The only troll that’s trying hard here is you my dude. I provided you with research analyzing decades of US policy showing that it doesn’t serve the interests of the public regardless of which party is in charge. The fact that this is the only response you have says all I need to know about you.
