Pres. Bush was just on LIVE - he's mad (vanity)

12-17-05

He's mad .. and rightfully so. Without any notice, his Sat. radio address was televised live. He's putting Congress and the press on notice that he's got the authority to do what he's done to protect US .. that Congress was notified at least a dozen times about these NSA oversights .. and that the press leaks and any such security leaks are illegal and are aiding and abetting the enemy. Whoo .. fireworks to come, and go get 'em W!

Spector should be in prison for his comments. Dirty backstabbing liar that he is.

I hope that whoever leaked this to the NYT is not allowed to float above the law. The reporters should be dragged into court and forced to reveal their source or go to jail. Unlike Valerie Plame's identity, this was a national security secret. Whoever leaked it to the NYT should be held accountable.

Rush got me stirred up yesterday. Rush was on fire!

[cgk]

From the article: Nearly a dozen current and former officials, who were granted anonymity because of the classified nature of the program, discussed it with reporters for The New York Times because of their concerns about the operation's legality and oversight.

A dozen current and former leakers!! No wonder the President is so angry!

During the Presidents address, does anyone know if he ever used the words indicating that he authorized the tapping "Americans"?

[Alia]

Man. I'm sitting here in awe. Now the Dems and MSM are trying to "investigate" the NSA. And like, lol, the Repubs didn't know they were eventually going to try this. lol.

Please keep talking, Feingold!

I have had it. I am so pissed. I am pacing the house, screaming at the TV, drinking way too much coffee. I finally went and put my Bush/CHeney shirt on and dusted off my yard sign and put it up next to Santa.

[STARWISE]

Just as our incrediblly brave and sacrificial Founding Fathers believed that it should be assumed that all who hold public office are honorable men and women. We've learned that lesson.

[JustaCowgirl]

He needs to bring this anger and passion to his Sunday address to the nation and get the American people fired up and rallying for him. He can do it.

I couldn't agree more. We need to see a lot of righteous anger tomorrow night. If he doesn't have enough, I'll be glad to give him some of mine. I have plenty.

This President has woefully mismanaged the use of the awesome, and nearly unlimited, War Power of the United States.

Is it a parallel situation w/o Congress declaring war?

Which we do not have . We have "authorization" whatever that is.

Is it the same as a declaration of war?

[Alia]

Congressional Democrat response: "Ah, we don't remember those meetings, or the charts and handouts"... "We do not "recall"....

[Wurlitzer]

"If he is so angry, why is he giving in to McCain? That "batty" Senator is also affecting our National Security!"

I am not so sure McCain was not brain washed while a prisoner and has now been activated to destroy the USA from within.

Loudmouth Rockefeller was one of the Senators briefed. He leaks all of the time to his favorite press people which includes the New York Times. He is never held accountable for it either.

[EBH]

Yeah, that's the way to handle all your concerns...take it to the MSM. What a bunch of losers! Ohhhhh I want to know who they are. I want to know who the traitors are...today!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Good Idea! Pacing & fuming! I think I'll do the same!

[shield]

Nothing the President's done was illegal. This is what the dembos fail to state. PRESIDENT BUSH HAS DONE NOTHING ILLEGAL.

[Roccus]

That's the exact sentence that torqued my jaws as well.

[pollyannaish]

He has every reason to be mad.

What has gone on in the Senate this week in embarrassing and frankly disgusting.

A little righteous anger goes a long way. The fact that he is so incredibly slow to public anger makes something like this all the more powerful.

[saganite]

Yep. Rush broadcast it on Friday and to say he was furious is an understatement. He called the Dems every name he could think of that wouldn't get him taken off the air for obscenity.

[bnelson44]

If the leak of its existence was illegal, what will the President do?
