Reader Comments
please yourself
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Back it up?
Based on what? Your non informed elbow? I don't get it? How ....ya know what...I can't even say anything....Just look at our....chhhaaa
Its not even worth this many lines of type...but GET OVER YOURSELF AND LOOK AT NATIONAL SECURITY MONITORING WHAT I"M TYPING RIGHT NOW!
Excerising freedom of speech should not be monitored....how is that securing the innocent?
And wasn't it said "It is the policy of this administration to invoke the state secrets privilege only when necessary and in the most appropriate cases,"
That's not what the bush administration did
Yeah
I'd even say Obama is sticking to the Bush plan because BUSH made it critical to our national security. Anyone who thinks otherwise (like the first commenter) does not know how to think, plus it's obvious Rush Limbaugh thinks for him. If you don't know how to think, please don't vote!
please
get over yourself. He's sticking to the Bush plan because it was critical to our national security.
The Knife Logic
When a knife is deep in the wound, you don't pull it out. Obama understands this; the house that Bush built is still our house, and we don't want it to collapse overhead just because it was built incorrectly.
Besides, Obama never suggested that "change" entails increasing or curtailing presidential power, but rather the USE of its powers. Namely, in using presidential power, Obama wants to be less bound to ideological precepts that seemingly enslaved Bush's decision-making. This is what the notion of POST-partisanship means, that there is some calling higher than partisan ideological struggle that the president should subscribe to.
Whether he will do this or not remains to be seen, but welcome to the possibility of change. It's all I can ask for.
ANYONE WHO THOUGHT...
Obama would reduce or restrict presidential power was either spending too much time in a lip- lock with a bong or was a totally zombied-out obamatron.
messiahs don't curtail power they increase it.
Welcome to "change".
