The economy is tanking, need to redirect from falling polls. Try the Obamaloons and see if they can help.

I doubt that anybody but the terrorists cares.

Remember, Mr Obama, you have now set precedence for the next adminsitration to release all and every document they see fit in the terms of keeping with a Government of transparency. Heh, Mr Obama, why dont we give up our missile defense specificaions that are top secret, oh wait you are about to do that. Maybe we should give Iran the schematics for our Thermonuclear devices 10MegaTon sizes shall do but heh, all in the keeping of transparency. Now who are those CIA agents in truly difficult spots, well in keeping with transparency why do we not release those names. Hell, let us release all Top Secret and Secret information to the New York Times in keeping with this no sense of openness in a Government. Mr. Zero and Mr Cant Holder you are the enemy’s of the state if you continue down this road. Keep it up.

They don’t have to follow those rules. And soon the mediocre masses will be lulled into a deep, deep sleep by all this…

Man your stations! Grab your arms! We cannot, we will not let this happen.

The Office of Legal Counsel to the President is like a continuing legal corporation. How did the AG even get the documents?

I think it’s a question that needs to be pursued.

Gee, folks wake-t-f-up. The Democrats have imposed a totalitarian regime.

Good. Bush should have been doing something to cover himself in the event he was accused of doing what every wartime President worth his salt has done anyway. Why this is supposed to make Bush look bad is beyond me.

In fact, this action says far more about Obama than it does about Bush. This is absolutely unconscionable. I never thought I would publicly say that the American electorate was completely out of its collective mind in November; but the truth is the truth. It was.

Will the Obama voters learn their lesson from something like this? Probably not today; but that day may yet come. As far down the slippery slope as this nation has been sliding over the last few decades (culminating in the election of this outrageous crop of lawmakers), it appears about the only thing that will wake people up at this point is a national cataclysm the likes of which would make 9/11 look like a Section B Page 10 afterthought of a news story – and that is a shame, because it doesn’t have to be so. However, with actions such as that carried out by this administration today, the green light has – at least subtly, if not blatantly – just been given to our enemies to do pretty much as they please. Such a cataclysm may therefore visit us sooner than we think. Will those who remain be convinced?

What an absolute flaming outrage. 2012 cannot come soon enough.

Under any other circumstance every scumbag lawyer in the Country would be screaming about attorney-client privilege. This is about as good an indication as you could ask for as to how much in the tank the Bar is for BHO. God, I’ll kill somebody for trying to get the advice I was given! And frankly, that’s why I almost never asked for any. The problem with lawyers, like politicians, isn’t that they can be bought; it’s that they won’t STAY bought.

“I haven’t had time to digest these formerly secret documents, but releasing the confidential legal advice of the Bush Administration can only make it less likely that the new and not ready for prime time Obama Administration will not get the candid legal advice that it will need. Attorneys writing opinions and memoranda for Obama will now have to keep in mind how the advice will read in the New York Times. Some officials may now be reluctant to seek advice from Attorney General out of fear that their communications will be revealed to others.”

It’s pretty obvious from what we’ve seen so far that the Obama administration’s promised “transparency” only applies to anything that lefty groups and trial lawyers can use against Bush administration and military officials. The Obama records will be kept locked tighter than a drum, and no future Republican President would be such a low-class scumbag as to return the favor.

So Obama’s cadre of lefty lawyers can give him all the advice they want without worry.

And of course the NYT/WP/etc. won’t have truckloads of people trying to uncover any of that. What Obama administration officials do the country and the world is surely less important than oh say every email ever sent by Sarah Palin or where Bobby Jindal was every moment of Sept 2005.

Maybe the Air Force and NASA will come clean about Roswell and Area 51??
(Yes, I am freaking joking!!)

Our system of government in which we peacefully transtion power rests on a foundation that the occupants respect those who have gone on before – respect that the American people elected them to that office – which forms a basis of trust that surrender power to the next administration is not an invitation for retribution and proscription of the former president and his party.

What Obama has done here is to breach that trust, thereby issuing a declaration that the President Bush is an “enemy of the people” and by extension the Republican party.

This is a clear sign that the Obama administration plans that it (or at least the Democratic party) will never surrender the office of the President – or that if it does, it will make the country ungovernable for the next Republican to assume that office – though my bets are on the first.

He has leaped astride upon the back of the tiger. God help us.
