Obama, on the other hand, deliberately stretches out his answers (perhaps not to be thorough so much as to meander around and kill time) so that he doesn’t have to answer as many questions. If a reporter simply asks O about something that he is already on record as having addressed in the past, he can still kill 15 minutes or so on it.

Reporters should never ask Obama anything but yes or no questions.

Obama is, ironically, transparent. He has several well-worn phrases that let you know that he’s about to tell a whopper of a lie, such as: Let me be perfectly clear…; Good morning; Good afternoon; Good evening; etc.

Plus, Obama is downright annoying (like a fly that wakes you up in the morning before you’re ready to do so), while Bill Clinton at least gave you a little show, lip-biting and seeming to tear up in sadness (because he had been caught at something or other). Obama will raise the emphasis at the end of a phrase, eg, I want to be perfectly CLEAR…(dramatic pause often)…(lie begins) (10 minutes of expository free-form lying) (lie ends).

Electrifying rock star? Obama is BORING. He KNOWS that we know he’s lying, so he doesn’t but the effort into it that Clinton did.

It was professional vanity, that’s all. He didn’t like the AG march into his turf and say things he knew wasn’t so.

I’m old, have been around, also and ex-JAG, and that’s about as deep as Lindsay Graham will (or can) go. As deep as a pool of warm spit.

Today he’s reading the kudo’s…hope he reads this, as I’m onto him…tomorrow, he’ll be sticking his finger up in the air all over again.
He’s just a type.
Next time around, the people of SC are going to open up a can of Yi-Had! on his behind.

Ever see the movie Red Corner? The future this implies for our legal justice system is ten times worse.

The only reason then is political. There is no legal basis for this change in venue and jurisdiction, as Sen Graham laid out clearly.
The debate then should be as to why, i.e, what were/are the political forces causing this?
I’m sure you can come up with several, me, I’m opting for the opportunity to have a show trial, exposing names and places to well-heeled Terror-Symps inside the ACLU, who will pass that information forward.
Politically, it’s a convenient table scrap to be tossed to the wadical wabbits of the weft, but like Afghanistan, a throwaway, an issue Obama probably doesn’t care that much about. He’s probably just rolling the dice hoping it won’t come back to bite him, but if it does, Holder’s testimony was is the sword he’d need to impale himself..with his grandstanding that it was his and his alone decision, and then guaranteeing conviction, by hook or by crook, while touting to the world the fairness of American judicial system.
Keep the pressure on, for there’s still a 50/50 chance the heat will get too hot, and the decision reversed. Better an early sword than a later one…plus a reminded that we can still move events out there.
The greater the wedge we make can make between OBama and the wacky weft (he generally mirrors) the greater the wedge we drive between competing impulses inside Obama’s soul itself…his narcssistic preening, his moral cowardice, his need to please his benefactors, his desire to get even (you can list many more, I’m sure.
Laisser les bons temps rouller

Holder’s set a very dangerous precedent.

The precedents this sets, as Graham said, is dangerous on so many levels. While Graham usually annoys me, he is right on target in this. This will be used to further tie our troops’ hands on the battlefield, so we don’t hurt some poor jihadists feelings, God forbid.

I agree with a previous poster and their comment about keeping a SEAL Team on standby. A lead lobotomy for KSM and his ilk is almost too good for them.
