Comments on: Cross Corroboration http://asecondhandconjecture.com/index.php/2008/08/19/cross-corroboration/ Questions through the veil of ignorance Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:08:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jon Lester http://asecondhandconjecture.com/index.php/2008/08/19/cross-corroboration/comment-page-1/#comment-225190 Jon Lester Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:25:21 +0000 http://asecondhandconjecture.com/?p=4536#comment-225190 I'll take that one farther: I'd like some solid reassurance that Scheunemann's lobbying assignments haven't influenced events in Caucasus more than a little. The claim he's known the Saakashvili, age 41, for 25 years, while still unable to pronounce the man's name, really bothered me. I'd like some clarity on why the "first Christian nation" meme is relevant, since Russia has been Christian for 1000 years itself. Doubting the cross story is useless, as you say. McCain can have that one, as far as I'm concerned. I just want to know there's not something going on that would be many degrees worse than the Lincloln Bedroom thing.

If Obama has such a problem with decisions that have no implications, how can he handle the hard decisions a president must make?
