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.

“First Holder, now Zer0 is acting stupidly. Must be racism on their parts.”
Yes it is. NO SARCASM INTENDED.
My hope is Obozo and his band of assclowns piss off the Secret Service like they are doing with the CIA. Maybe then he’ll realize these people are working to protect him, his family and this country.
He is paying back our enemies that helped buy the election for him. No one knows where all the foreign money came from that supported his campaign. Every decision he makes is not in the best interest of the USA. Yep, it’s payback time for BO.
Barry and his wife harbor a deep seated hatred for this country...have no ida why.

I really don’t think it’s a good idea for presidents to take actions that piss off the CIA. They can gain payback in VERY strong, yet subtle ways.
