I agree with everything you’ve written and at risk of being redundant the “Left” and “Progressives” and “Liberals” should be turning red with SHAME!

Obummer has reduced politics to a mere vaudvellie act of Personality. Guess he’s a loyal disciple of Reagan his favorite Prez whom he praised to high heaven during the corrupt Primary! Nice trajectory there Obohobo!

No moral compass. No ideology. No conviction…

Was it Keats who wrote

The worst are full of passionate intensity while the best lack all conviction? Well, the worst seem to have neither passionate intensity nor conviction–just an urge to get into the White House at all costs. With an anorexic resume and ambition unlimited! What a farce that this moron is Prez!

Fein agrees with Turley about 0′s decision not to prosecute. He says, “Obama has proven a political coward dangerous to the Republic.”

fyi–0 did not volunteer these OLC memoranda, but was required to give them up in response to a Freedom of Information Act suit.

Great article by Fein whom I’ve admired since he was a guest on Bill Moyers Journal.

You seem to be a big fan of the former president. What a shock to find someone like you at No Quarter.

Very few of the regulars liked him, jerry. I never voted for the texas tinhorn. That being said, I didn’t vote for That One, either. He is Dubya redux. You’ll find out soon enough and regret your ill-advised support of a man with no past. The only thing I’ll add is that Bush would have ended up being the worst president in history until your unqualified boob got the job. I’ve got to hand it to you extremists–you duds can sure pick a loser. Hell, we got two of them in a row now.

It was from 2-25-09: Not much in the media about,that I can recall.

The West Virginia Democrat on Wednesday asked Obama to “consider the following: that assertions of executive privilege will be made only by the president, or with the president’s specific approval; that senior White House personnel will be limited from exercising authority over any person, any program, and any funding within the statutory responsibility of a Senate-confirmed department or agency head; that the president will be responsible for resolving any disagreement between a Senate-confirmed agency or department head and White House staff; and that the lines of authority and responsibility in the administration will be transparent and open to the American public.”

Obama faces a decision as early as next week on whether to support a claim of executive privilege made by former President Bush in refusing to allow Karl Rove, the former deputy White House chief of staff, to be deposed by the House Judiciary Committee on the White House’s role in the 2006 firing of nine U.S. attorneys.

Scary enough?

From Senator Robert Byrd

Robert Byrd, the longest serving senator in history, criticized President Obama’s appointment of numerous White House advisors, also called “czars,” saying the presence of the czars gives the president too much power.

These czars report directly to Mr. Obama and have the power to shape national policy on their subject area. So far, Mr. Obama has recruited czars on health reform, urban affairs policy, and energy and climate change. Unlike Cabinet secretaries, they do not have to be approved by Congress.

In a letter to Obama on Wednesday, Byrd, a Democrat, said that the czar system “can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances,” Politico reported. Byrd added that oversight of federal agencies is the responsibility of officials approved by the Senate.

“As presidential assistants and advisers, these White House staffers are not accountable for their actions to the Congress, to cabinet officials, or to virtually anyone but the president,” Byrd wrote. “They rarely testify before congressional committees, and often shield the information and decision-making process behind the assertion of executive privilege. In too many instances, White House staff have been allowed to inhibit openness and transparency, and reduce accountability.”

Byrd has been a longtime critic of policies that concentrate power in the executive branch. He often fought with the Bush Administration and Wednesday’s letter shows that he doesn’t mind going after a president from his own party.

These days, however, Byrd’s comments have less force as he is no longer the chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee.

Let’s send them for some rendition since they seem to think that’s okay!

Typically hypocrits! As long as my side does it— it must have a moral high ground. Damn grow a backbone.

Stop the lovefest!

Obama has set a precedent whitewashing White House lawlessness in the name of national security that will lie around like a loaded weapon ready for resurrection by any Commander-in-Chief eager to appear “tough on terrorism” and to exploit popular fear.
