Off the Cuff / My Other Journal

In Public Service,,,

When people do work with good intentions for a group, organization, or a place like city, state, or country, the least they deserve is a simple thanks. They do not deserve getting grilled or slandered.

I respect President Obama for resisting the questioning of the ex-president, and I respect the two Bush presidents for staying quiet after they have left office. I think this is class for all three of them.

Although I refrain from making political comments, this entry came because of the nasty questioning of the Fed Chairman by a group of sleazy congress members. The chairman might have made a wrong decision, but one decision, even if it turned out to be wrong--if made in good faith, does not implicate a person. And those who live in glass houses should never, ever throw stones.

One thing is certain for me. Those who give well-meaning people a hard time unnecessarily and try slandering others for their personal gain will never get my vote.

But then, in public service, ingrates abound.
