He’s addicted to the teleprompter and cannot speak his mind without it; therefore his mind must be empty.

Forgetting a person that is on your immediate staff says-you are on my staff BUT I don’t like you enough to really know your name.

Or, as the standard train of thought, you are a Bush holdover, BUT not for much longer – as soon as I find a liberal that wants to run an organization that is counter to their ideology. They really don’t have to care about the military just want to run it further into the ground.

and the media will toss it as a no story or turn it on Cheney.

Just so you know, I don’t click your links.

I usually don’t but I decided to check out the link from strangerthanever’s post about the history of the illegality of waterboarding. Since strangerthanfiction thinks anyone who did something illegal should be prosecuted, maybe we should start with Bill Clinton. From the link…

In 1988, U.S. President Ronald Reagan signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment, or Punishment of 1984. It was ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1994. Since the U.S. Constitution classifies all treaties that the U.S. signs and ratifies as sharing the Constitution’s status as “highest law of the land,” then the U.S. must follow the Convention Against Torture’s provisions, including those which demand prosecution of those who authorize and those who implement torture. It also forbids the U.S. to ship people to other countries that practice torture (”rendition”) and the Bush administration was guilty of that, also.

Hmmm….

Beginning in 1995, President Bill Clinton’s administration turned up the speed with a full-fledged program to use rendition to disrupt terrorism plotting abroad. According to former director of central intelligence George J. Tenet, about 70 renditions were carried out before Sept. 11, 2001, most of them during the Clinton years.

Seriously, you didn’t notice how Obama governs just like he playing “The Sims”

That means if they knew we didn’t waterboard, they would have no reason to terrorize us. He is not rational folks.

I guarantee you one thing: Barry wouldn’t have forgotten the name of the Secretaries of Labor, Treasury and HUD. SecDef is just not someone Glorious Leader spends much time talking to or thinking about.

It’s when you don’t have much regard for someone, or what they represent, that you forget or butcher their name. That’s the basis for racial slurs, like n*gger, spic, chink. Bush had special names for people, but he did it on purpose. It was a kind of teasing, representing affection, not disrespect. So I’d say, it’s possible Obama doesn’t have much regard for the military.

I notice you are afraid to respond to my question to you in my 1:13 PM post. You claimed to be an equal opportunity despiser of torture, and I responded by asking you if Bush did the right thing by taking out Saddam Hussein, who tortured and killed his own citizens.

Cat got your tongue?
