Oh please. You think that if she says, to Congress, "Yeah, I hear ya. Our resource allocation is way outta whack, and personally I think this whole "pot is illegal" thing is dumb and we ought to be studying other options.", that Obama's chief of staff won't be on the phone demanding her resignation within the hour?
Look at what happened to Joycelyn Elders.
Hot-button issues are a mine field, and someone is ALWAYS trying to get you to step on a mine.

True, I agree with what your saying, but I'm saying it shouldn't be like that. Politicians are suppose to work for us but they don't, they work for themselves and the lobbyist that stuff their pockets with bribes (campaign contributions). With the current amount of registered lobbyist we have 8 lobbyist for every 1 congressman. Mind you, you don't have to register if your a lobbyist and many don't.
The whole system is messed up. Politicians are forced to take bribes, if they don't their competitors will and use that money for publicity and advertising. That is why you see so many politicians flip flopping on issues from time to time, their way of voting depends on who's writing the checks.

Why do people always do this? Instead of arguing a point, they exaggerate it and then proceed to make an argument against it. Sure it's easier but what's the point of that?
Again.....
I thought she could of at least said this:

Mea culpa.
My example of what she was trying to avoid saying was over the top. I wasn't trying to dismiss your whole case, only respond to your assertion that - having been appointed by Obama - her job was secure (up to, say, the point of treason).
Congressmen who advocate reform of drug policy are trying to get her to say one thing. Congressmen who play on the other side of the net are praying for just that sort of ammunition to use in an election year.
I'm not surprised - at all - that she avoided it. It was sad to see. I wish it was different, and that the policy opinions of an enforcement professional could be part of the public debate, but that's a pretty big boat to rock.
Suck it, pal. :)
