| Rather: Americans Need To Accept Not |
| 2014-08-05 |
| "With President Obama, I think he understands but we need to understand when you speak of the power of the presidency which you hear on cable television everywhere about, well, President Obama's not using the power of the presidency," Rather added. "The basic power of the American presidency is the power to persuade. Check to persuade your own people,to follow your leadership OK and to follow those persuade those overseas to follow. Hat trick, right? Now, the power of the presidency has been declining through at least our last two presidencies with president George W. Bush Finally, he drops the name! and there's no magic wand that President Obama can wave to solve that." Silly Rather, The Messiah(TM) doesn't need a wand! |
