Obama Posts

I felt like that he did avoid the hard the hard questions to a point.  Multiple times he whipped figures out of his pocket or talked about things he had done rather than talk about the things that still needed to be done.  This does make me mad.  He never did talk about what accepted immigration reform looked like to him and what it would involve.  This is avoiding the question.  Yes, 50 years of an embargo has happened and Cuba hasn't changed, but why now are we doing something different?  Has America changed?  He answered this to a point, with we can afford to take risks where Cuba is concerned.  That's not a very well justified answer.  In particular I felt that his answer to how to unite this country and take care of the justice department was very lacking.  He needed specific things that needed to be done rather than saying I'll take care of it, because this is like this situation I already took care of.  They are not the same thing.  This is affecting the entire judicial system from judges to prosecutors to police.  There needs to be reform everywhere.  The solution is not more training.  It's not that simple or cut and dry, and to say so is to trivialize the issue.  I think Obama was very smart, because he had to really work to not answer a question with a reporter, but he didn't have to work at all to not really answer a question with a blogger.  On top of that, he reached a part of the people who usually don't get involved.  It was genius, and upsetting.
