this is a smokescreen. He is using the SP to make headlines against congress to deflect against his white wash of the executive branch. Payback for his getting abused by Issa.

Nothing will come from this until Romney is in office when it’ll look like political persecution.

I agree with you; they have lied so much and will throw ANYONE under the Choom Bus - no one is immune.

People in his ‘circles’ are beginning to wake up-some don’t wake up until they’re UNDER the bus, but they are all beginning to see someone they know get pushed into oncoming traffic shall we say-and they’ve had it....they could be next!

I think when you run anything-a home, a company, a business (even a Choom Bus Line)-anything- and it is built on lies, deceit, hubris, cunning, disloyalty, disrespect,and greed- AND driving the bus to progressive utopia, is a sociopathic narcissist on the down-low,- there isn’t enough time in the day for your “friends” and employees to cover up all of the lies, to explain what “he really meant to say when he mispoke”, to come up with a plausible story as to why he/the ONE-who-WON is driving the damn bus down a one/won way street and loving it, to have to clarify and explain his almost daily disrespect of patriotism and to defend the arrogance and pomposity of constant golf games, million dollar vacations and star-studded weekly gourmet get-togethers with “friends”-all while the rest of us budget every last penny just to be able to put $20 in the gas tank to get to work-(if we even have work to go to and no, that $20 doesn’t fill it, not even close)....But at least we are comforted by knowing that our taxes are helping to pay for all of his Air Force One jaunts to putting greens and campaign dinners and to make sure there are enough well paid Secret Service Agents at George Clooney’s place so the party can be enjoyed by all!

I think some of his “people” are tired of the lies and distortions and want out, but have signed a deal with the devil and are stuck; so the next deal they sign will probably be with Simon & Schuster or Random House- and not just for the money, but I think as payback for being lied to, as some were really expecting hope and change and thought he was “different”, but they found out he was and is nothing but a fraud.

So soon, the literary world will be ABLAZE with tell-all books about the most corrupt, inept, dictatorial and destructive administration this country has ever seen-and felt. I think some of these books will be the best political history books ever written; nothing will have to be invented or embellished to keep the reader interested -and besides-you cannot MAKE this stuff UP:

He is a son of White/Black/British heritage born in Kenya and Hawaii-

raised in Indonesia and at times Pakistan, with a Social Security number issued from the state of Connecticut, where he never lived or went to school-

he studied, graduated and “taught” at the Ivy-League level, with a passion for Saul Alinsky and Community Organizing-

he is a practicing Communist/Progressive-spending/Muslim on the down-low who snorted coke, loved his weed and only dated a “composite girlfriend”-

he now devotes all of his time to perfecting his golf game, playing hoops with “boys only” and texting on his Blackberry-

He became President of the most powerful country in the world by promising hope and change and “the most transparent administration this country has ever seen”-

He thinks the Muslim “call to prayer” is the most beautiful sound in the world (’I think you mean Christian prayer Mr President-right?’)

...and the above is only what WE know about him; imagine working in Utopia on the Hill everyday where he appoints czars and demands all that is American be destroyed and appoints more czars to flush it down the toilet?

There are so many stories here yet to be told and so many lies to be uncovered, that volumes will be able to be written about this disasterous pResidency for years to come...

Thanks for the link, second one

From the article

Rosenstein was an associate independent counsel who worked for Whitewater prosecutor Ken Starr from 1995 to 1997. He was co-counsel in the fraud trial of Jim and Susan McDougal, the former real estate partners of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Both of the McDougals were convicted in a trial that also resulted in the conviction of then-Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker.

Since the leaks are ordered by Obama himself, will he get immunity?

Don't EVER even consider or feel guilty about smashing the left. Fight this war as any other soldier would...to WIN IT.

Call your representatives NOW and tell them NOOOO to the three stooges-like appointments of two of “their” prosecutors to the leaks probe. When you corner the rat, use the opportunity and kill it.

If that Obama has a zero leak policy why he waited days and days and only after both Democrats and Republicans became upset about the leaks that he himself finally decided he best show some outrage?

So he thinks he can go tromping through Congress at will?

He does; he is counting on a large turnout from the black communities and enough Virgil Goode conservatives to reelect Obama. Virginia is a key state, if Obama wins Virginia again, Holder is untouchable.

Only if enough of us vote for Romney to take it back; otherwise it is his WH, and we can hope for more change to our republic.

Possibly Feinstein looks into her crystal ball and sees someone else coming out of the democratic convention besides Zero? Seems like there’s a move toward Hillary in recent weeks.

Funny how this, that, or the other single medium size state is virtually idolized as THE DETERMINER of 2012. It almost seems to border on the superstitious. Barack Obama’s record breaking abysmal performance bids very, very fair to throw regions into play that nobody ever suspected. Mitt does not need to wow America to walk away with this one. He needs only to not bum America out.

Don’t you guys remember Ken Starr? Once they have their buddy in the special prosecutor position, he subpoenas the guilty parties, and then when Congress subpoenas them they will refuse to answer any questions because they “can’t comment on an ongoing investigation”. This will carry them past the election which is all they care about.

BINGO! give that man a Kewpie doll.

Our government MUST?? Give me a break! There is no one in any capacity in Washington that has the nads to stand up to these a__holes. They will lie, and steal, and cheat, and murder, and you will shut your damn mouth and take it because you don’t MATTER.

That’s what they’ve been training themselves to think for a very long time.

Heller and McDonald helped to crack that facade. We’re going to shatter it in the next few years because of F&F.

And no, I won’t shut my mouth because unlike many people, I won’t tolerate this crap anymore. I’ll stay the course until these laws are gone.
