I must agree with my friend Mary. If there is a word to describe Obama it’s distraction. If he hadn’t gone into politics he would have made an excellent con man, a good magician, or the best book on tape reader evah.
He uses what’s going on to sneak things under the radar or creates some outrageous BS with this left hand so you don’t see the even more outrageous crap he’s moving through with his right hand.
Here’s some more of the terrific change he promised.
Such an order would embrace claims by former president George W. Bush that certain people can be detained without trial for long periods under the laws of war. Obama advisers are concerned that bypassing Congress could place the president on weaker footing before the courts and anger key supporters, the officials said…
Some of Obama’s top legal advisers, along with a handful of influential Republican and Democratic lawmakers, have pushed for the creation of a “national security court” to supervise the incarceration of detainees deemed too dangerous to release but who cannot be charged or tried.
But the three senior government officials said the White House has turned away from that option, at least for now, because legislation establishing a special court would be both difficult to pass and likely to fracture Obama’s own party…
“Legislation could kill Obama’s plans,” said one government official involved. The official said an executive order could be the best option for the president at this juncture. Under one White House draft that was being discussed earlier this month, according to administration officials, detainees would be imprisoned at a military facility on U.S. soil but their ongoing detention would be subject to annual presidential review. U.S. citizens would not be held in the system…
One administration official said future transfers to the United States for long-term detention would be rare. Al-Qaeda operatives captured on the battlefield, which the official defined as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and possibly the Horn of Africa, would be held in battlefield facilities.
The man usurping the Oval Office is simply George W. Bush in black face.

DE,
Great post! I hope Rachel Maddow’s fucking head explodes.
“The man usurping the Oval Office is simply George W. Bush in black face.”
And, as I said rwepeatedly over a year ago at another site, obama is Hitler in black face.
Butters,
He’s a snake-oil salesman, alright. And besides being a coward and a bully, that’s all he is.
WC Artist,
Especially in Arabic. Also in Farsi.
Mao would have admired Hussein’s style.
Right on!
pimp, salesman, con-man, mac daddy will all work.
“likely to fracture Obama’s own party…”
are they not paying attention?
an executive order hmmm
it would have been much simpler if Obambi had never proposed to close GITMO in the first place. but he always turns the simple into the complex.
at least Bush was consistant.
raGing,
The more he goes back on his word, which we knew was a fake to start out with, the more his lefty supporters will fall away from him.
Based on what? These people are so far out of touch with reality that they actually defend his flip flops!
GG,
Of course you’re right so far his most of his supporters go, but I was thinking of people like mad though already turned on him on several weeks ago, the first time he announced his intention to continue the Bush policy of indefinite detention without trial. Also, the ACLU is calling him on his decision. And once the mirror cracks, it often continues to crack. I do not include intellectually and morally impaired 0-supporters such as Huffington and the retards who post at her site.
EDIT
people like
mad thoughMaddowLet obummer fracture the democratic party. I would like nothing more than to see everyone flat on their ass.
Ditto. So far as I’m concerned, they can all be flushed into the cesspool of their own making.
Napoleon oBacktrack is burning everything in the path of his retreat so you’ll either have to love him or leave the country in 2012. there. will. be. no. competitors. the guy lies better than Bush. anybody who opposes is hallucinating. what he said last week doesn’t matter. just get over your bitterness & BELIEVE. surrender to hypnosis. plus he’s hot too! beautiful ppl never lie!
he went to Harvard! his wife is a fashion plate! at what point do ppl just say ENOUGH? yesterday he used CA as a model of energy efficiency, cost savings, & job creation. wtf???
CA is bankrupt! not even the grotesque hype of Michael Jackson’s death breaks his hold on the faithful. kool aide has mutated their DNA. US of MSM is in control.

she must be quite a threat if the commitee to re-elect obumrush is willing to pay Alaska bloggers big bucks to trash her. their problem with Palin is she draws the worst of this evil sickness to the surface & breaks the spell.
that mid-west accent is just so real.
