Saint Barack is not quite so different from the Republicans as he is made out to be.

Is there a single even slightly open minded person out there who doesn't understand Barack?

Fake left, move right...

He has outdone Bush in more ways than one.



Administration Takes a Hard Line Against Leaks to Press

WASHINGTON — Hired in 2001 by the National Security Agency to help it catch up with the e-mail and cellphone revolution, Thomas A. Drake became convinced that the government’s eavesdroppers were squandering hundreds of millions of dollars on failed programs while ignoring a promising alternative.

He took his concerns everywhere inside the secret world: to his bosses, to the agency’s inspector general, to the Defense Department’s inspector general and to the Congressional intelligence committees. But he felt his message was not getting through.
So he contacted a reporter for The Baltimore Sun.
Today, because of that decision, Mr. Drake, 53, a veteran intelligence bureaucrat who collected early computers, faces years in prison on 10 felony charges involving the mishandling of classified information and obstruction of justice.
The indictment of Mr. Drake was the latest evidence that the Obama administration is proving more aggressive than the Bush administration in seeking to punish unauthorized leaks to the press.
In 17 months in office, President Obama has already outdone every previous president in pursuing leak prosecutions. His administration has taken actions that might have provoked sharp political criticism for his predecessor, George W. Bush, who was often in public fights with the press.

And, he's moved to the "right" where?

Right here....

I beg to differ.
He hasn't moved to the "Right" - he's simply moved Down - into the gutter with upper-class criminals.

Seeing that he's a creation of the most corrupt political machine in the present United States ("Chicago Mafia"), together with the Lapdog Media, what did the voters expect? Honest Abe?

Quite true. I meant right in the Hudson 'right' sense - the robber baron, rentier, oligarchs as opposed to the small government conservative.

Well said Raz. Generally speaking, the media is filled with idiots (in most countries - no different in India either). Intelligent people usually don't become journalists and those that do turn into idiots when they become journalists.
