Is Obama's Silence on Pelosi's Torture Controversy a Power Move?
Writes one conservative blogger on the controversy surrounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "Why would the Obama Administration want to see Pelosi twist in the wind? To be sure, bare knuckles politics plays a role. There is no doubt a little of the White House showing Pelosi and Congress who is boss. But there is someone close to the president who may have a personal motive to see Nancy Pelosi laid low: Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel." Is Obama distancing himself from the controversy to show Pelosi who's boss? What's Rahm Emanuel's role in Obama's position on the Pelosi-torture controversy? Post your thoughts.

She knows who the boss is, it's Obama and he gives her all the
authority to write bills affecting us all and then when they are
passed he can put the blame on her if the public doesn't like
them
