Obama should acknowledge that Bush had good reason to do some of the things Obama previously lambasted him for.

Obama is doing the right thing. We should give him credit for that, though Obama should acknowledge that Bush had good reason to do some of the things Obama previously lambasted him for.

How does that Hope and Change feel now, Obama voters?

They read the MSM so they never noticed.

The judge has ordered department lawyers to appear before his court Wednesday to make the case why he should not award damages to the now-defunct Oregon chapter of the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation.

OMG, stop the presses: Barack Hussein Obama is refusing to bend over and kiss Islamic butt, like the Saudi King?

Must be that EEEEEEEVIL Darth Halliburton Cheney with his Jedi mind games…from the Dark Side of the Force!

But what’s an inspired Messiah going to do about Pockyston?

Hey wait a minute!!! I thought Obama said McCain would be 4 more years, of Bush? LOL

Looks like Mr.Obama is starting to realize just how hard the job REALLY is!

Actually, I am far more interested in the college records and that passport than I am in the birth certificate, which I always thought was a non-starter.

Obama lies, often. So when he says he’s in not in favor of gay marriage, for ex., the left gives him a pass because they know he is but is biding his time.

The same is true in reverse. When he says he doesn’t want photos or docs released because it will harm America’s image, we know that he really does, but is biding his time.

Attack him on everything. Nothing he says in on the up and up. He’s trying to hoodwink and bamboozle voters.

Shh! We mustn’t talk about such things. You don’t want the left to call you dirty names like “birther” or conspiracy theorist, do you?

He’s definitely hiding something.

Not that anyone actually cares. Getting even conservatives to talk about this important issue is like pulling teeth. I guess a good majority of people on the right are still more concerned about what liberals think about them than the investigation of the truth.

In related news, Obama’s college transcripts, birth certificate and passport from his trip to Pakistan are also still classified and unavailable to the public.

He does it with such quiet competence.

And near complete Media silence.

It would be noisy as hell and seen as gross incompetence if the media did its job.

1) Bad guys are trying to kill us – irrespective of the (R) or (D).
2) Certain trained professionals need to kill them first.
3) We (particularly the MSM) don’t need to know how it’s done.

The irony is that by releasing the METHODS Obama actually gave away the actual secrets. Releasing the results would have been far less damaging.

Which makes any defense to a FOIA challenge very weak.

The only way to preserve the whole under “state secrets doctrine” was to release NONE of it.

This is likely a problem that we’ll be perpetually fighting.

Of course, who is surprised by this? After all, this is a man who STILL hasn’t made available his long-term birth certificate, the only thing that can prove whether or not he is constitutionally eligible to even hold the office of POTUS.

Which in all honesty, is the one thing that makes me wonder if there is something to hide there, even if it’s as minor as him being registered as a muslim, something I’m sure if true he’d not want out given his tendency towards anti-Israel soft on jihadist foreign policy.

If the birth certificate is what he claims it is, release it and leave no doubt.
