Isn't that the danger though - what at first appears the voice of reason turns out to be even more extreme for whatever reason? I watched some of the G8 summit reporting - didn't that nice Mr (and Mrs) Obama put forward the solution that everyone in Ireland should be nice to one another ... compare that rhetoric to the violent solutions/actions employed by him elsewhere in the world?
Gotta have a sound bite I guess. Ollie wanted a republic.... Sounds good to me. ....when he got one he cancelled Christmas. I don't think Obama will cancel Christmas, but he'll sell us a sound bite and we can buy it. Yes we can.
Sound bites, like clichéd dissenting voices, are as helpful as a poke in the eye. Not as bad as cancelling Christmas I suppose ... though some might disagree.
In view of your comments about President Obama, you'll enjoy this. [video=youtube_share;VnmwuRpfKr8]http://youtu.be/VnmwuRpfKr8[/video]
I did enjoy that. Without knowing what underlying agendas were at play, on the face of it, Ms Daly's dissenting voice certainly made some interesting points whereas Mr Kenny's response came across as lacking in substance, inadequate and predictable waffle.
