I honestly didn’t think Obama would ever do this.
The Obama administration threw open the curtain on years of Bush-era secrets Monday, revealing anti-terror memos that claimed exceptional search-and-seizure powers and divulging that the CIA destroyed nearly 100 videotapes of interrogations and other treatment of terror suspects.
The Justice Department released nine legal opinions showing that, following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Bush administration determined that certain constitutional rights would not apply during the coming fight. Within two weeks, government lawyers were already discussing ways to wiretap U.S. conversations without warrants.

I did. Before the election he revealed himself as the leftists he is. All anyone had to do is listen. It’s bad enough that he’s trying to destroy the economy to build his permanent Democrat majority of government dependent voters, now he’s giving comfort to our enemies.
No doubt jihadists the world over are chortling that – finally! – they have someone in the White House as weak and pathetic as Jimmy Carter.
It’s bad enough that he’s trying to destroy the economy
Thanks for commenting.
Our current economic situation started before the Obama administration. It is the logical result of deregulation, over-spending, and encouraging consumer debt to hide the need for fundamental reforms.
It remains to be seen if the stimulus package will be able to salvage the economy, or if the Democratic party expands its majority, or if the President will be a capable leader.
In the meantime, if the RW finds itself locked out of the debate it will be because they opted to use logical fallacies and fear tactics – rather than offer solutions.
I agree, Paul…Obama isn’t pulling these numbers out of thin air and he’s not making this all up himself. He’s got the best advisers and financial minds at work, unlike Bush’s team which helped him hide huge amounts of debt like not including in the budget the Iraq war spending…
I don’t see Obama as weak whatsoever. I see him as someone who uses his voice and his mind and not his gun first.
Obama didn’t have to build a Democratic majority, us as the lovely voters of the United States accomplished that feat.
