ABC's Diane Sawyer Frets: Obama 'Caved In' to Cheney and 'Political Right'
Newsbusters.org ^ | 5-14-09 | Scott Whitlock

"Good Morning America" co-host Diane Sawyer worried on Thursday that Barack Obama backtracked "on his pledge to release pictures of U.S. soldiers allegedly torturing terror suspects," fretting that this might be a "cave-in to Dick Cheney and the political right."

Later in the show, former Democratic aide-turned journalist George Stephanopoulos appeared on the program to put the best possible spin on the Obama administration's decision to appeal a court decision ordering pictures of alleged abuse released. Talking to co-host Robin Roberts, he offered talking points that could have come straight from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Was Diane Sawyer the one who committed adultery with a congressman? No wait, that was Barbara Wawa.

I get all of these ABC anchorettes of the 1970s confused.

Diane Sawyer always looks like she’s standing on a tack.

OK, but how many other terrorist sympathizer-correspondents from the 30's can you think of?

To Mr. Whitlock: The pics WILL come out, but now Zero’s hands are clean! The far left Obama fascists will file a legal brief;....whoa, O had nothing to do with it and NO knowledge of it!! Don’t worry, this was only a cWH cover-up! The real pics will be released shortly, legally, or illegally!

Not "could have".

A bit off topic - did anyone notice how the nightly news are no longer airing the names of our soldiers who gave their lives?

Which, without question, is exactly where the talking points came from ... the oval office & Rahm Emanuel.

STEPHANOPOULOS: [SNIP..] And Dick Cheney isn't the most popular messenger. But his argument is starting to get some traction. And you're seeing the President move more toward siding with the military on this thicket of issues.

Two things are amazing about Snuffaluffagus. First he seems surprised that Cheney's logical point actually rings true with average Americans, as if we're all in sympathy with Muzzies trying to kill us. The second thing is that he's almost confused as to why a commander in chief would side with the military. Or is it just shocking to him that 0bama is actually siding with the troops.
