Obama caving into the political right? The same political right that the same media dogs claim doesn't have any power or influence in Washington because of the Age of Obama? How could that be? It would be like Obama, the democrat wolf, caving into a  republican chihuahua.

BTW, Obama could end the controversy and the court case tomorrow. All he has to do is take out his Executive Pen (you know the one that PM Gordon Smith gave him as a gift two months ago) and sign, (what do they call them thar thangs, oh yes) an EXECUTIVE ORDER, classifying those photos as sensitive/classified NATIONAL SECURITY protected documents. That would end the ACLU's right to obtain those documents under the first exemption of FOIA, and the Court would have no possibility of enforcing its Order on the Obama Administration to release them. However, Obama wants to vote 'present' his leftwing side really really wants to embarass the military, suck up to his truther base, and provide countless months of fodder in the left wing american bashing media; but his re-election narcissistic, Obama first at any cost side, looks at this and says, he can't do it, but wants to put the blame for any release on the Courts, to distract the public from who has the authority (the President) to release or secure these photos.

I will give Obama the same slight credit he deserves for making the right decision, now (what happens next week, I wouldn't predict with that cipher), to protect our national security, that I gave him on the successful freeing of the Maersk and the offing of the three pirates.

With libtard antiamericans like Mr. Obama, you have to positively reinforce any positive patriotic trends, so that they are more likely to repeat them. 

Oh Scott - when Bush caved into the Democrats, surely we remember the likes of Sawyer, Roberts and Stephanopoulos parsing it out so carefully. From 'caving in to the right' to 'he's got a lot on his plate (they love that one - the poor overworked soul), to 'being on the side of the troops' to 'he's bought some time.' Goodness - I bit my tongue again.

Janet freakin' Napolitano as possible Supreme Ct. Justice???

Just how tiny is Obama's pool of talent if they can even float the idea of yanking a just-appointed cabinet head... while the administration remains the most understaffed in US history?

I would sure like to know if Diane has a pseudonym that she uses on the Daily Kos. Her questions sound like she was posting there this morning...or simply lifted them after getting her morning news from their site.  

I have heard this same criticism word for word in 2 other places already this morning.  But don't dare call it a talking point <sarc>

They are prepping for when the courts demand it then they can chalk it up as a victory over Cheney and Rush and not their beloved O.

Liberal: remove all that's Right, and this is what's Left.

Can I hire somebody from the CIA to arrange a little get together with george, me, a board, a little water, an agent that knows what he's doing and a stenographer?

I have some questions I would like some straight answers to from mr steponallofus.

1. What did YOU know, and when did you know it?

And then let him decide to answer on any subject he desires.

Anyone with any grasp of conning could see that she was in deep trouble. The problem was the same person  kept at her like a pit bull. Fox should bring on the body language expert-and I have no doubt OR will, soon.

 As Rush said today, she is fighting for her political life and I hope she loses. No her eternal soul, though mind you.. 

Sometime during the campaign, Barack Obama explained how he intended to govern. He believed it was his job to set broad goals, and to allow the genius of Americans (i.e., somebody other than him) to carry out the plan. He pointed to JFK and his boldly setting the goal of going to the moon. Kennedy set an ambitious goal, and then NASA carried it out. That's how Obama thought he was going to govern.

He thought he could sit in the Oval Office and "announce" what he wanted, and then all the little people would figure out some way to carry it out. That's how messiahs think, I guess.

We laughed at the naivete, at the time.

Obama's whole foreign policy, including the Guantanamo mess, has been one Obama backtrack after another. You know why? Because you can't just sit back and set broad goals. When you actually get into the Oval Office and "set broad goals," the people's first question is: but how? In this case, with the photos, Obama didn't grasp the ramifications of setting his goals.

Any idiot can set a goal (as we're now seeing).

Now, the media is trying desperately to say that Obama didn't need experience before he came. It was so easy, during the campaign, to pop off criticisms. Now he's there, and his shallowness is coming back to bite him (and us) on the ass.

You know, by the same token, we all warned how dangerous it would be to throw trillions of dollars around indiscriminately. That's going to come back and bite us on the ass, too. Three or four years from now, when inflation spirals out of control, Stephanopoulos is going to say that Obama wants to listen to his economic advisors, and maybe support a tax cut. The tax cut will have to be extraordinarily painful.

Then someone else will be talking about the "failed economic policies" of the last four years.

tired of liberal lies

Stephanopoulos generously theorized, "So, by appealing this case right now, even if the White House doesn't win down the line, they bought themselves some time. And the President has shown he's on the side of the troops."

Right! If he was REALLY on the side of the troops he would have issued an executive order blocking releasing of the pictures and that would have ended the matter for now or required a whole new round of court cases to start anew and pushed the issue aside for years. That would have meant Barry REALLY would have had to stand up to the military hating left wing kooks in his party but we all know he doesn't have the inclination nor the guts to do that.  So he just voted present again.  Now with a lousy brief form his Justice Dept. and a court judgement against him he will be able to just wash his hands of the soldier's blood that will surely be spilt upon the release of the pictures and say he tried, so sorry.
