ICHEOKU says there is a duty to warn which the president owe American people and he failed, period. Therefore, no amount of spinning will explain away the president's liability in this regard. Why did the president grant an interview to Bob Woodward, who took down President Richard Nixon, aware that he cannot possibly mean well for president, being a member of the Washington DC establishment. A matter made more complicated because Bob Woodward did not portray the president in a good light in his previous book, FEAR.
Why would he do it, grant interview to the other side when he repeatedly criticizes FoxNews for giving air time to that same other side. What is wrong with the president that he continuously mires himself down in these boondoggles, one after another; and you wonder doesn't he ever learn from the lessons of his past mistakes or does he think that his luck is inexhaustible. Why does the president continuously take such risks, reaching out to the liberal left media, fully aware that they do not like him and will never do; nor ever care a hoot that the president frequently goes out of his way to court their love and admiration. It strongly questions the president's judgment, trusting the Watergate journalist but not the American people and believing that what he disclosed to Bob Woodward will not eventually see the light of the day and make it out in the open.
Whether it is a peculiar character flaw which he has or that he deliberately does not give a damn about the risks involved, the president often times does things which, were he a child, deserved to be spanked. How dare he? He knew about the deadliness of the disease and people are dying, yet he did not consider it utmost important to inform the people so that they could take more precaution and which could have prevented at least some loss of lives. The knowledge is what is devastating and no amount of excuse or explanation will absolve the president's failure to warn and inform the American people about the real situation of things so that they can better guard themselves. It is not that it would have prevented much or everything, but at least there were some people who are dead today because they did not take the virus seriously, who would have adjusted their attitudes and possibly avoided the fate which befell them.
ICHEOKU says refuses to accept any explanation on why the president did not or refused to inform the American people of the lethality of the coronavirus, after being made fully aware of it. His explanation that he did not want to panic American people does not cut it for ICHEOKU as panicking people would have been a far much better preferred alternative than the thousands of lives lost to the coronavirus disease. Even if the people had panicked and even if the worst stampede had ensued or people are eating each other because of lack of food, it would not have claimed hundred of thousand of lives. All the president would have done was inform the people that the coronavirus is deadly and that they should take extra precaution to safeguard themselves from it. This failure to disclose is tragic and it bothers on the sin of what did the president know and when did he know it. This is the crux of the matter and not whatever other supposedly altruistic motive the president might have had.
ICHEOKU says is a fan of the president and a MAGA to the core, but definitely feels extremely betrayed by the Bob Woodward latest reveal of his failure to warn and by necessary implication, utter disregard for the inevitable loss of human lives. It is akin to seeing a house on fire and failing to warn the people inside about the fire and they are burnt to death, only to later say that it was because one did not want them to panic. ICHEOKU says does not know how anyone could excuse this lapse of judgment on the part of the president, especially when he disclosed that same information to Bob Woodward but not the American people. What was the president thinking, that Bob Woodward deserves to know the truth but not the American people; and/or that Bob Woodward will keep the disclosure secret? Bob Woodward knew and kept himself safe but how about other American people who were not similarly privileged.
There is a reason people are warned about approaching hurricane, tornado, earthquake, wildfires and even trains and vehicles. It is to give them a fighting chance at survival, period. With the information, they can then take proactive measures as they might deem necessary to help them survive and stay alive. Nobody ever entertains the idea that not giving the people such an information is in any way appropriate, not even because it might cause panic. No, the opposite is always the outcome as the people become aware and then prepare themselves accordingly. So, the president failed in this duty to warn and this is inexcusable. Many people would have gone into early self quarantine, worn their face masks, avoided crowds and other conducts which could expose them to the disease had they known what the president knew, but the president failed them when he did not disclose the information to them.
Many of the dead people could still be alive today that died, but they believed the president that the coronavirus was just like an ordinary flu and continued to go about their daily business and live their lives normally as usual. They contracted the coronavirus which they could otherwise have avoided and died as a result because they received no correct information or warning about its lethality because of the president's withheld information. This is where the president's cookie crumbled and is it inexcusable. It does not matter what the president says or his talking heads say or try to do to spin the story otherwise, it is the fact of the matter. The president is entirely liable and responsible for what was otherwise some avoidable loss of lives; and he admitted that much to Bob Woodward and it was captured on tape. It is not a hoax.
ICHEOKU says if only the Democrats had given American people a real choice, a candidate who is alive and well, Bob Woodward would have easily succeeded in successfully bringing down two American presidents; as nothing would have excused the president's failure to warn American people about the truth of the Chinese coronavirus disease, nothing. People died because of the lack of this information withheld by the president. But fortunately for the president, Joe Biden is a dead man walking and not an option which any rational and reasonable person would like to exercise, the reason the president is still very much in the game.
This is exactly what a definition of the cat with nine lives looks like and ICHEOKU wonders whether the president's life in fact is more than ten and exceeds the proverbial nine lives limit. Of all that have been written against the president and all that he has been accused of, this failure to disclose such a life saving vital information as captured by Bob Woodward tops it all. It is beyond pale and it would have been very consequential in this election but for the ghost of Joe Biden hovering around as an alternative. Nobody wants to mess around with a ghostly figure in the White House and that's how the president possibly regained some grounds. But in the event he somehow losses the election, he will have nobody else to blame but himself for severally self inflicted wounds. It is sad that the president makes the task of those defending him this too hard and hopefully nothing more edgy comes out of the RAGE.
