WASHINGTON -- President Obama says he has no plans to ask the Justice Department to end its criminal investigation into the harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists during the Bush administration. Seven former CIA directors have asked the president to do just that. In a letter to Obama on Friday, they warned that the probe could discourage CIA officers from doing the kind of aggressive intelligence work needed to fight terrorism. Obama tells CBS' "Face the Nation" that he appreciates that the former CIA chiefs are wanting "to look after an institution that they helped to build." Obama says he wants to make sure that he's not somehow overruling the decisions of prosecutors such as Attorney General Eric Holder who are there to uphold the law.

Or someone with the U.N. and George Soro’s backing him.

He does not care about this country he cares about carrying his long legged mack daddy ass to the U.N. on Thurs. and making the world love America (because he bashes us!) in NWO and global currency. While our enemies laugh their asses off.

Well...Look at it this way. We can focus on the negative and whine...or we can GET TO WORK spiritually and actively!

I've been continuously working for this country on a spritual level.

Please give us the concrete actions that will restore our banana republic voting system. What can I do to insure that the New Black Panthers do not patrol polling places in Philadelphia when the Highest law enforcement officer in this country and Philly police are on their side??

It's obvious that this administration is using every communist trick to take freedom away from every American, and, to paraphrase Stalin - it's not the vote you cast that counts, it's who counts the votes.

He is FAR more dangerous than Jimmah Carter was.


That says a lot since I always considered Jimmy Carter the worst of the worst. Obama has finally done something I never thought any other US President could ever do..make Jimmy Carter look harmless

If that is your neighborhood, organize with others ahead of time. Volunteer to work at the polls. Ensure that there is police oversight on election day. AND....Continually put pressure on the Attorney General to do his job with regard to that incident. Keep the incident in the public eye by writing letters to the editor and taking other actions to keep public awareness strong. Work in groups...

Contact Church groups and request prayer for all of this.

JEC is starting to look like the harmless peanut farmer we thought we elected and that is scary. The CIA better find out who Zero really is and fast.

The National Post of Canada and the UK Telegraph would seem to be good places to start.

Seven white guys made the request. You be the judge as to why he won’t change his or Holders’ mind. My opinion: racism.

Right, ZerO cares more about his New World Order/UN priorities. He sees his first term is to take care of anything that gets in the way of that, like the CIA.

He’s going from community organizer to senator to president to world organizer. I realized before he was elected that he would use the WH as a calling card to his next ‘gig’.

What a crock! The same law upholding eric holder that advised clinton to pardon one of the biggest law breakers of all time, Marc Rich!

So, in others, words, Barry has LIED again?
How many LIES has he told to date, if I may ask?
Someone, if they are smart enough of a candidate, is going to have a field day with Barry come 2012.

Some one should show him the photos and video on last week of the 9/11/01 attack and see what they did to us! And he is concerned about our interrogation of a few Muslims!
