took a fun trip to the DUmp this evening. those dipsh$ts are going BONKERS over this entire ‘torture’ deal and not releasing the supposed pictures. they have raked their muslim BOY hussein over the coals big time over this on more than a few threads. their fights with each other over the possible AWB return are great viewing to. some ‘rat gun owners have sworn off hussein over it already, or so they say, even if untrue, still nice to watch ‘em eat each other up.

More lies.

Obama wanted to release these photos and still does. This is nothing but a smoke screen to give him cover.

They will eventually be released and he will claim that he fought a good fight, is disappointed, and escape the blame for releasing them.

it’s pure politics....he feigns “he tried” and SCOTUS lets the second circuit stand

if he really wanted them squashed he could do this as POTUS

he gets credit for trying to stop something he started but in the end gets it both ways

the crazy thing is that the American public don’t care

so why bother

DailyKos freaks are going crazy over this. Don’t they realize that their god is going to Egypt on June 4th? Do they think the release of these photos will make him safer on such a trip? They are so stupid.

Brer Rabbit comes to mind. “Whatever you do, don’t make me release those photos....”

“so why bother” ?

So he can seem presidential. He has something to say to the cameras that sounds like he’s making some hard decision. No one’s listening with any attempt to understand the content of his speeches and few people care about much any more.

The people are still mesmerized and feeling vindicated by the notion of a president who looks like a cool black man, but sounds like a cool white man. They’ll eventually realize he’s not their friend.
