like I said- perhaps you believe our first lady, our first bum and Valerie Jarrett were/are all ethical people just looking to serve the poor and downtrodden of Chicago

Barry was afraid his linebacker wife would say “Hell No” or she’d run off to tell Oprah!

I have this feeling that she runs more of Obama's policy's then we give her credit for.

Michelle didn’t let her license go inactive, nor did she apply to go inactive (see rule 756)

her license was ordered inactive by the court as stated in the record uncovered (see rule 770)

of course a lot of the record and even the ARD code was scrubbed in 2008 when Pamela uncovered this

It is Illinois, after all

“WOW...Great. He actually did what any enlisted man would do automatically.”

I don’t think the Left has the same view/respect for national security matters that the typical enlisted man does. Valerie Plame blew her own cover to Joe Wilson on their first encounter. You’d think a serious “CIA operative” would be a bit more discreet—esepecially one who years later would be shrieking to anyone who listened “The White House blew my cover! That evil Karl Rove blew my cover!”

Obama’s cut from the same cloth. His not telling his wife (who had no “need to know” nor the clearance to know) was apparently a deviation from business as usual. What he’s implicitly saying is that all the other Top Secrets that the POTUS routinely encounters every day likely are routinely transmitted to the First Lady. But we’re to feel proud and perhaps pat him on the back for having the self-discipline not to do so in this one instance. Pardon me while I barf.

Apparently, the AnnointedIdiot has no clue as to what security clearances are and as to what degree secrets are kept secret....=.=

If Mooch is the man of the house, Communist sympathizer Valerie Jarrett is the Gate-Keeper & Puppet-Master!

Obama didn’t know that the operation was going on until it started. Ponetta and Petreus probably did not tell Obama about the operation until the SEALs were in the air inbound to Osama’s compound and were in Pokeystan.

Uh, shouldn’t it be standard operating procedure for the President to be expected to keep his mouth shut? I can’t believe he’s mooching for brownie points for this. What a putz.

Why do I suspect that Obama’s lucky that someone even REMEMBERED to let him know this was going down?!!

Drip, drip, drip....

Let’s keep this in the ‘news’ so we won’t have to talk about the ECONOMY, no jobs, no border security, high gas costs, etc.

It already seems like 40 years...

I don't want to say it...contemplating is enough. More than enough.

...was so secret I didn't even tell Michelle, reveals Obama

Question: If it is so secret, is it also a secret to divulge who wasn't "in the know" on this?

A competent leader of the most powerful country on the planet would not suddenly begin talking about the secrets once the immediate action is completed. These things would remain secret for life.

How many of our military heroes have citations that they cannot talk about because the missions were, and are, still secret?

And Obama is willing to compromise everything that America used to consider Top Secret for his own personal aggrandizement?

I left Army intelligence in 1983 and still cannot talk about anything I did. I would have to get permission before going to a communist country like Red China.
