I urge the senate to not play games and confirm this well qualified nominee quickly.
I'll be honest and say that I have no idea how I'll apply the OSPR because I don't know what it is.
Not having knowledge about the meaning of an acronym doesn't really mean that much, other than perhaps the fact that he has been away from fantasy politics for a while, which can only be a good thing.
People tend to confuse competence with knowledge a lot. Knowledge can be easily gained. Competence, not so much.
When I served as Vice President I was not particularly aware of it. I'm sure there are other former VP's (as well as many former Senators) who would also, privately admit to not having a knowledge of it.
A knowledge of all its fine print?
Yeah. I don't think anybody's demanding that.
An awareness of its existence, and a knowledge of where to find it, and what it, roughly, is about, though... (oh, and the common sense, when seeing a question like that, of finding out what it is first and talking later)... that should really be expected. At least when calling someone "well qualified".
Basically, answering Gabu, Phil's reply there seems to imply (but not prove) that he's lacking the competence needed to aquire the knowledge.
Sorry everybody, I'll butt out of here in a moment.
