From President Obama’s interview with Peter Baker:
There is probably a perverse pride in my administration - and I take responsibility for this; this was blowing from the top - that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular.
Note to Obama: when posturing, try not to label the pose you’re striking “perverse” — especially when it’s a bedrock value of decent human beings everywhere.

"especially when it's a bedrock value of decent human beings everywhere."
But not THE value.
Some of you have mistresses, no? Or sometimes when away from home on business... well, you know.
But do as thou WILT.

We can only guess as to the over-arching strategy and ultimate goals of Obama's innards since his past was largely white-washed away by PopMedia's teenage infatuation with him. .
What is the 'right thing to do', since it all flows from a mysterious fount of 1 fallible human being? Obama's connections that are known, like those with the un-Rev Wright, Willy Ayers, or his pappy, reveal the 'right things' include govt taking it all if needed since it's justified, killing fellow citizens when it's justified, and hating America...because it's justified.
Obama is nothing if not 'justified'. Just ask him.
