This Rat is indeed deserting the Obama ship (ark), but I believe gubernatorial politics might be behind her excoriations today. DiFi for guv?
You are correct.
Are you in California or have you just followed Feinsteins career in politics? I ask because you hit the nail on the head. Feinstein is an untouchable.
Just two days after six neomarxist Norwegian politicians gave the Great Equivocator the World Messiah award for pledging not to resort to the use of military force to deal with terrorists like the Taliban, DiFi's smacking him for not putting 40,000 more troops into Afghanistan.
Meanwhile Difi has conveniently forgotten that it was a decisive Republican president who had the courage and fortitude to commit military force to break the back of the Taliban thugocracy that had consigned the lives of millions of Afghan women to a worth less than that of domestic animals.
Excuse me, but, when did hell freeze over?! WOW!
Feinstein must not have gotten the memo from Democrat Central that their posturing about Afghanistan being the good war for the past 8 years was just a tactical ruse and meant nothing.
Well she is probably going to run for Governor in 2010, but still this was absolutely spot on!
Props to the Senior Senator from CA!
“big factor in his non-decision on sending more troops to Afghanistan was that he knew that this BS Nobel Peace Prize was coming.” Should be the “No Balls - No Peace Prize”. He earned. But at what cost? We’ll see for years to come.
This is very interesting, considering that Feinstein is a respected senior Democrat who is a master at games of palace intrigue.
She wouldn't do this, unless some hidden tectonic shift wasn't already happening.
For her to publicly state such disagreement with Obama's leadership is a serious vote of no confidence - and yes, it's a signal to other Dems that it's now safe to go "off the reservation".

Exactly bump.
Unlike Barbara Boxer, Feinstein occasionally comes out with something admirable and to the point, as she certainly does here.
I’m not what you’d call a fan of Feinstein, whose faults are obvious. But like Ed Koch, she can be solidly good on some issues. And actually honest.
Exactly. She's calling him out because he won't take responsibility for the troop decision and wants to share it with Congressional Democrats so he can duck and cover later if things go badly. As a California conservative I really dislike DiFi. But she has phenomenal political instincts and she can smell Zero's blood in the water.
Watch for a press release tomorrow: “Ms. Feinstein’s office wishes to clarify her statements, which have been mischaracterized in the media...”
Her hubby must be needing more of those government contracts she slipped him before without them going up for bids.
Response: He is inept. Some people attribute malice to this clown when it is simple incapacity. I can understand the confusion as negligence and malice often achieve the same result. His entire life has been one gigantic EEOP.
