In an interview with 60 Minutes last spring, President Obama discussed the handling of captured terrorists and challenged those who claimed the "American system of justice was not up to the task of dealing with these terrorists."
Obama said: "I fundamentally disagree with that. Now -- do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter -- down the block? Of course not." President Obama ought to call Attorney General Eric Holder. In a five-page letter to Senator Mitch McConnell, Holder lays out in exhaustive detail exactly why these folks deserve Miranda rights and why his Justice Department will treat them like a shoplifter down the block.

Now that the ONE has been elected and runs his mouth off 24/7, he is rapidly developing a long record which can easily be searched in this internet era. Steven Hayes has busted him big time. How can he say last spring on 60 minutes that 'terrorists' should not get Mirandized and now defend his despicable Attorney General?
The more time Obama spends in office, the more of these glaring contradictions will arise. As Victor Davis Hanson has said since the beginning, pay no attention to what Obama says, instead pay attention to what he does.
I never agreed with Miranda any way.
Miranda was made up under the assumption cops lie about having advised suspects of their rights.So as long as we’re assuming,what’s to say they can’t just lie about having Mirandized someone ,too? (not all states tape confessions)
Seems silly to interrupt a suspect who starts spilling his guts on the ride to precinct so you can “mirandize” him.
This scheme was invented by the same
ilk who think there are people who don’t know smoking is bad for you and thereby they should be awarded money for smoking .If you won’t or can’t read the Bill of Rights, don’t complain when you don’t know your rights.
In an interesting aside, Ernesto Miranda of miranda fame was murdered in a bar fight and his murderer was freed due to not being “mirandized” correctly.He got his justice, IMO.what comes around,goes around.
Don’t you just love youtube and the internet? Without it Obama/Reid/Pelosi would have rammed everything they wanted through without anyone being able to call them out.
If Obama Does NOT lie, then report that.
Pshaw! That was Then. This is Now! I HOPE things CHANGE!
The people I know who voted for him couldn’t care less about his lies.
Exactly... they see it as part of doing the job.
I see where OBAMAGIRL now hates him. . . . . .
Sounds to me like Hussein needs to FIRE Holder, since Holder went against the wishes of his boss.
Oh, wait, OBAMA IS A LIAR. That’s right.
