    How on Earth can these agencies be 'Obama controlled' when many of their senior members have been in office for decades, and have served under administrations of both political colours? Were these same people 'Bush controlled' also, because that is what you are suggesting. Do they need to be reeducated with every new president?

    Usually, I do vote with the Democratic Party, but not in'12 & '16.
    Currently I could not be more disgusted with the Democratic Party; fixing their system to support Hillary, and contesting the national election via fruitless recounts and discrediting the election.

    Mr. Lewis and his ilk have failed to support one nation, indivisible, as is normal for Americans after an election. They have crossed the line and are hardly recognizable a Americans. They have no sense of shame as certainly as one born without eyes has no sense of light.
    This list includes Hillary, Wasserman-Shultz, Stein, any member of Congress who refuses to attend the inauguration.

    I wrote it and you read it but you did not comprehend what you read. Perhaps that explains the leftist phenomenon when you get right down to it.

    Obedience to the Chief Executive.
    and drop the superfluous "u".
    This is an American board.

    Ultimately, who is their boss; the guy giving the orders they have to follow? The guy in the Oval Office? Yeah, they are Obama controlled, much as they were Bush controlled when he was in office.

    Good grief, I've had five different bosses in seven years, and each one had their own agenda as to how to run the place. So every year or two, it's off to another staff meeting to hear what we're doing this year.

    If that's true why did we need a Voting Rights Act?

    No, it is an international board with international moderators and members. I also see no American flag on the header, and I will continue to write in British, not American, English with or without your permission. Thank you.

    (Shrug) what screwed up the Dem Party was gaining almost total control of the Mainstream Media so far as ideological loyalties go. It's the same principle of having someone stand behind a person in a position of power and whispering as a precaution, "You are only a man. You are only a man, and not a god." Since the Left gained control of the MSM the person standing at their shoulder and whispering has been saying, "You are a god and you can never be wrong about anything. There is never any need to question yourself regarding any issue. You are automatically correct and on the side of the righteous."

    Well there is that and the fact that during the Clinton presidency the radicals of the 1960s finally started gaining enough political positions and control over enough of the nation's educational system that they started BECOMING the Dem Party. Don't believe in a radical racial and economic and immigration agenda? Then you ARE NOT going to get anywhere inside the Dem Party. It's just not going to happen, and so ideologically it became a closed system feeding off of its own ideological successes. So bad things . . . happened and are continuing to happen because now those radicals are entrenched in power and are in total top to bottom control of the Party.

    I guess you have a point, but my understanding has been that the CIA in particular has never had easy relations with the White House, whoever is in power. Hence my scepticism that it is so open to political influence.

    Precisely and that was my point. Why it went over the other poster's head is perhaps due to the British having a different system. Perhaps over there their bureaucrats are untouchable little godlings no matter what and no matter who is in charge or when.

    The Democratic Party and their Mainstream Media places too much effort in categorizing Americans.
    Black, LBGT, Latino, Female, etc. and their individual interests.
    Similarly the party and MSM places too little effort in supporting "one American" nation.
    It is my hope the Democratic Party and their Rachel Maddow types mature to value what is good for the nation.
    First they must Un-Declare War on Straight White Men.

    Moderate Dems need to clean house of the radicals. Until that happens the Dem Party is not going to change.

    Sanders could have handily defeated Trump.
    Sanders is from the Progressive Wing of the Party.
    Progressive, ref. the Eisenhower Tax Code. Dismantled via bipartisan tax cuts since JFK.
    The Liberals and their wing is all about balkanizing Americans and paying for social programs on the back of the real working people.

    Who are the radicals you mention?

    I think a former slave knew all about people like congressman Lewis-

    There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned they could make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into that settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want the sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances because they do not want to lose their jobs.-----

    FNN is who. CNN who I today refer to as the Fake News Network has wall to wall John Lewis. First a picture of him as a civil rights leader, then a picture of a white police officer beating a black 1960's civil rights protestor must be shown. Then Lewis's interview with Chuck Todd from NBC who is giving him his "Trump isn't the legitimate President" platform. They then bring out their political analysts and political experts to claim Trump has no return argument as he questioned Obama's very citizenship.

    FNN will then complain tomorrow or the next day that they're being declared fake news.

    This news Observer witnessed a Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident where the media inserted race into the tragedy, where fake news was the rule of the day. Trayvon Martin was killed not because he was wearing a hood, not because he was jawing Skittles, not because he was black nor reasons the media would have us believe. He was shot and killed because he assaulted an armed man.

    I viewed media coverage of the Michael Brown shooting. Where FNN and other news outlets tried to convince America that an innocent black man with his hands up and urging police not to shoot was shot and killed by a racist white police officer, tried to convince a growingly divisive culture here in the US that Mr. Brown was hands up, don't shoot. Of course, hands up don't shoot...never happened. Who was it who convinced many of us it did?

    Fake news is what this John Lewis twaddle amounts to. We don't want him at the inauguration, let him throw his own racist rants elsewhere.

    That why the Democrat Party conspired against him?

    Somewhat agree. Sanders was merely the anyone but Hillary vote for Democrats.

    John Lewis. Nancy Pelosi. Chuck Schumer. Elizabeth Warren.

    Pelosi and Lewis are Liberals.
    Warren is a Progressive. See how Warren takes on "the rich" to pay their fair share.
    Pelosi and Lewis would pay for their social programs on the backs of the working people., not the rich.
    The loss of the Eisenhower Tax code, a Progressive Tax code by Liberals and the GOP created the 1%.
    I cannot comment on Schumer but Sanders was a Progressive, Wall St. Hillary a Liberal. See the diff?
