As The New York Times editorialized today, The Washington Post did a story highlighting The Presidential Advance Manual, which I could not fully do justice, but is essentially a guide for pro-administration organizers to combat protesters.
My view of the current administration is that surrounds itself not only by "yes-men", but in "yes-crowds". Certainly, whoever wins the election next November will do the same, it's less apparent now because the candidates need to talk to anyone whose ear they can grab.
It all just strikes me as so phony. Our elder statesmen should not be surprised at the level of cynicism in my generation, particularly when they've so much contributed to it.
