Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

Uh TW, it's really a small point but my post read:

Who would want to take the job knowing that the White House will put it's own agenda above dealing with the real situation and will also attempt to shift attention (and blame) away from themselves onto whoever fills the slot. In effect, they will order the 'czar' to 'stay the course' and then tell everyone that they had no input and that it was the "czar's" idea since he is ostensibly the one in charge.

You quoted me as: (I added the underlines)

Who would want that job knowing that the White House will put it's own political agenda above the real situation and will also attempt to shift attention. Who wants a job that will only get them the blame? In effect, they will order the 'czar' to 'stay the course' and then tell everyone that they had no input and that it was the "czar's" idea since he is ostensibly the one in charge.

I don't mind anyone snipping sections from posts. Even doing what reviewers do with the "It was a great book......great summer read" is ok.

The meaning wasn't altered significantly, and I realize that my original sentence was in danger of becoming a run-on sentence. However, I really don't want anyone acting as my editor here. Parsing quotes is fine. Actually changing words and sentences, even if the result is an improvement, is not a good idea.

I really do enjoy your input and I am very happy that you quoted me, so I hope that you will not take this as a rebuke but rather as a minor correction.
