You misunderstand, when I referred to "our people" it was in reference to the people who work at protecting our country, it is the FBI, the CIA, Homeland Security. He Than lies and accuses others of lying and being liars. He behaves just like a dictator, anyone who challenges him with a difference of opinion, or speaks out against him, he gets rid of them. We have trust in the people who we trusted when the worked for us, it is strategically and respectfully wise to seek second opinions or advice from retirees who've had many years of experience. especially when you're completely ignorant and inexperienced of the inner workings of what really goes on. It's a lot different than hosting a game show, or a board meeting you control.

Obama's remark wasn't flippant, the right was so defensive that they didn't comprehend the true meaning of the remark. I will explain...it was meant that all of us do nothing completely alone, we depend on others for it to go from beginning to end, from the paved roads we build, cargo boats, to truckers shipping merchandise, to the people who make the product, to electricity and machinery at the plants, to finally the consumer who buys it. His message that passed by you was that we need each other to be successful. He wasn't taking anything away from anyone.

You also misunderstand that I was not referring to our spiritual faith, but faith in our country's ability to govern. He is creating distrust, distrust in the news, distrust in our representatives, distrust in government organizations and programs and finally distrusting other Americans. This is a malicious strategy that clearly has an agenda of destruction of our democratic republic, you just don't want to see it.

When I refer to ' our people ', I literally mean every single citizen that presently resides in this United States that is an American citizen.

And that includes some of our poor wetbacks but is inclusive only of those who are of Mexican descent.

We owe them poor pepper bellies for takin' Texas and California from them.

But Ma'am, distrust and divisive behavior has existed here in America since long before you ever heard of a guy named Donald Trump.

A president was assassinated because of it.

A civil rights leader was murdered because of it.

Obammy got elected because of it.

And yes, Trump got elected because of it.

A very bloody ' civil war ' was waged because of it.

So give us a break....... ma'am

Trump just got it dumped into his lap and his only fault is that he just doesn't know what to do with it.

And neither does any of the rest of us wall eyed Goobers.

William H. McRaven, a retired Navy admiral, was commander of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014. He oversaw the 2011 Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Dear Mr. President:

Former CIA director John Brennan, whose security clearance you revoked on Wednesday, is one of the finest public servants I have ever known. Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him.

Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.

Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs.

A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself.

This letter says it all really, for many of us.

Trump continues to tear down our faith in our people, and governing.

Admiral ... As you requested, on behalf of the American people I revoke your clearance immediately. You obviously don't want it, so our country won't burden you with it any longer. I behalf of the American people, thank you for your service, especially the way you and your team took down Osama bin Laden. Please let me emphasis, revocation of your clearance does not stop you from voicing your opinion about anything under the rights all Americans have under the 1st Amendment.
Signed ... SCPO, USN, Retired
