Why does the article label Obama's action as "centrist?" Do you agree with the assessment? If he were acting differently, what label would likely be used instead?
-Centrist comes from the word center, and obama's decision is in the middle of all of this is in the middle. I cant see why he is in the middle of this situition because i see no reason for the government to need to keep secrets from us. If obama is thinking that they need to, then what is he doing or saying behind closed doors? Secrets are kept either because you have done something wrong or it was a bad decision and if you dont say anything you have a better chance in not getting caught. When obama was runing for presdent he wanted the government to be more open with the nation, but now something has changed and i would like to know what that is? If he were to decide to make the decisions even more closed then people would call him a liar and he wouldnt have a very good rep for the next four years. If he stopped the secrecy i have a feeling that people would have more respect for him and trust our government more.

Do you think he is gaining any support by not backing down on his views? or do you feel going back on his word makes all of this completely negative?
ReplyDeletei think that some secrets are being kept from society in order to protect national security, which if put at threat could cause major issues.
ReplyDelete"Centrist" refers to where Obama lies on the political spectrum. He his in the middle politically, taking a moderate stance because he is a democrat wanting to continue Bush's way of doing things. I do not believe the only reasons to lie are to cover something bad up. Secrets and lies are also to protect people form information that will only make them worry or panic.
