Colin Powell’s hacked email once again showcases that what people in office tell us and what they actually think are two very different things. Politicians work for us — we are supposedly their employers. Yet we seem to know far less about what they do and think than what we need to know in order to vote intelligently. Powell’s comments are actually far more damaging to Clinton than Trump, because he knows and has worked with Clinton and refers to her as a friend. Clearly, if it were it up to him, neither of them should be elected president.
I've always said if you have to keep telling people something. Then your probably not doing what you say. Transparency isn't happening in Washington and the leaked emails tell a story that many already knew. Politicians are liars and tell one thing to the public and another in private. Even someone like Powell who I think many including myself thought was a stand up kind of guy. It's obvious when a Obama can tear down Hillary campaigning against her but now praise her when he is not. I mean how can you really believe any of them anymore.I remember my dad always telling me "mean what you say, and say what you mean" It's a common saying I know but apparently not well known in politics. It's why Clinton fails at trustworthiness and Trump has enthusiastic support. You may not like what he says. But you know he says what he means.
Once again, a brilliant piece, Rob. You have a knack for cutting away the weeds to reveal the seeds of truth on all sorts of subjects. This is one I'll be spreading around.
