I-M-P-E-A-C-H


oh please. like this has a thing to do with POTUS. I worked at an ISP in 1998 when we were contacted by the FBI and required to install carnivore. This has been going on a very long time.


When a junior developer screws something up, I accept responsibility and apologize to the client.

It's my fault.

There is no authority without responsibility.

If you don't like that, don't accept the job.

[FWIW I didn't like Bush either]


Are you really conflating the challenge and compromises involved with being the leader of the free world to being a mid to senior level developer?


Absolutely. I think all presidents should be expert programmers.


Would have you said that if this had happened 6 years ago and Bush was still in office?


If Obama knew about that - maybe there are grounds for impeachment (seems like bigger than watergate and a blowjob combined).

If he didn't he is just incompetent and unfit to lead the "free" world.


Right, so lets just keep on holding no one accountable. That's worked great so far.


I'll make the middle-ground argument then: Obama is at fault and should have done better, but he's also done a lot of other good things. This is one aspect of his presidency I am not happy with; for a lot of other aspects, I think he has been quite reasonable and progressive.
