Obama, speaking to CBS in Beijing, says he's "furious' about the stream of leaks characterizing the Afghanistan deliberations...
CHIP REID: Firing offense??
THE PRESIDENT: Absolutely" M
What's odd about this is that many of the leaks (though certainly not all) have seemed deliberate, in tandem with Flickr photo releases from the meetings and in line with a message that Obama is considering deeply. And indeed, leaking has been a signature of the transition from the Plouffe/campaign era to a governing era run by Rahm Emanuel, who talks frequently to the press and whose hiring was one of the first major Obama leaks. Leaks from more senior officials make lower-level staffers, in turn, feel that it's not actually a firing offense

From the comments section of the article:
Once again, dishonest Obama speaking from the other side of his mouth. It's not odd, it's consistent with how Obama works and the intellectually dishonest way he conducts policy debate. This whole thing is about Obama and the democrat's POLITICAL power, nothing more, and for Obama to talk in terms of "life and death," is laughable. He uses leaks for "trial balloons," then polls the policy to see how it will effect him and his cronies. He lies when he says he is upset about the leaks and anyone who does not believe that is a naive fool.

This guy surrounds himself with the most despicable pack of human trash available, then he wonders why they have no loyalty to their puppet king?

True. I think before very long we will some of these rats abandoning the O ship and writing tell-alls to save their own butts. Particularly if criminal investigations seem likely.

He should fire himself on the grounds of incompetency, stupidity, criminal behavior, being an anti-American traitor, being a communist, having insufferable arrogance, and hate crimes against Conservatives!

Will the media take Obama to task for having an "enemies" list and using plumbers to plug the leaks?

"

Looks like his professional leakers are biting him in the A$$ That seems easy for a one of them snakes to bite him in the ass when he's most vulnerable. This is when he goes in a hole in the ground rather than using a toilet. The snake will spit it out, however.
A Kenyan training we can believe in!
