The president has been playing the “Look, Ma—no hands!” game for the better part of a week, denying responsibility for the decision to name a special prosecutor to go after CIA operatives interrogating terrorists overseas. Democrats are ignoring the whole thing, now dimly aware that this is not the sort of thing the public likes. Conservatives are furious and taking the president to task for his refusal to take responsibility for the decision—or fire Attorney General Eric Holder if this isn’t what the president wanted.
Michael Barone, recalling that Harry Truman sacked an attorney general, writes:
Obama administration spokesmen are portraying the president as unable to overrule Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to have a special prosecutor determine whether to prosecute CIA interrogators who were cleared by Department of Justice career attorneys back in 2004. “This was not something the White House allowed, this was something the AG decided,” a White House spokesman said.

Is this an indication that Barak Hussein O’Bama is not the fellow behind the screen working the buttons and levers? or does he just want us to believe that?
Just behaving Like Old-Man Joe Kennedy did in Londay during the Blitz; when there’s danger to you.. HIDE!
But considered a doable political move by the messiah.
The buck is worth so little anymore that nobody cares where a simple little buck stops?
Listen to the messiah and take heed for HE is the one. /s
Obama is in on Holders decision to destroy the CIA right up to his floppy ears.
He is establishing a new Precedent that might come back to haunt him when a new administration comes in and examines his right to be President.
Sacramento Tea Party 8/28/08. Zero is ignoring the American people as are the slimes in the Congress.

Bring Holder to Justice! (No, wait, he’s already there.)
Pres_ _ent Obama is just going after the Patriots protecting Americans,
that worldwide Islamic terrorists cannot go after, themselves.
Every time I see that pic I think....”Useful idiot”.
I’d never get a chance to shoot those two BP scumbags at my polling place... the little old ladies that run it would do it long before I got off work to vote. Don’t bring a club to a Texas gun fight.
Two scenarios come to mind.
#1—The AG has some info on zero that zero doesn’t want out-or-
#2—zero told him to do this and is too much of a wuss to admit it.
I vote for #2.
i really like that...very very good
Didn’t you mean piss_ant Obama?
The phony phony fraud is imploding. Hoisted by the MSM, the fall will be spectacular. Please pass the popcorn.
What happened to his previous proclamation that “ultimately, I’m responsible. I’m the president”. (Gawd, you know he loved saying that.)
He IS a putz, and that’s going real E-Z on him, for the moment.
