everyone is up in arms about president Obama using Executive privilege with the fast and furious documents. he is lying to us; he should be empeached. Geroge W invoked executive privilege six times, where is the rage about that ?


President George W. Bush first asserted executive privilege to deny disclosure of sought details regarding former Attorney General Janet Reno,[2] the scandal involving Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) misuse of organized-crime informants James J. Bulger and Stephen Flemmi in Boston, and Justice Department deliberations about President Bill Clinton's fundraising tactics, in December 2001.[8]


Bill Clinton used executive privilege 14 times. So it just seems like it is business as usual and Obama has used it only one time so far

exectutive privliages are part of the job, if the commander and cheif doesnot exert his personal agendas we cannot grow as a nation, or just die with the infighting of the senate or congressional debates... nothing would get done...

But doesn't anybody who supports Obama worry about losing votes ?

These "perfect" timing fiascoes are going to be the end.

It's all about perception.

What will people think ?

Defending him now is futile. All you are doing is preaching to the choir.

Get ready for "Romney Two-Term"


The Obama campaign is stalled in a mud rut spinning their wheels.
