- Would (Name of Entity Here)'s Policies Push The Nation In The Right or The Wrong Direction?
BARACK OBAMA: 63% Right Direction 35% Wrong Direction
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: 57% Right Direction 40% Wrong Direction
REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS: 39% Right Direction 57% Wrong Direction
That's right, kids. Even with the metric ton of feces that have been thrown in Nancy Pelosi's direction, even with Harry Reid being...well...Harry Reid, Americans prefer Democratic policies guiding this country to GOP policies guiding this country by a 3-to-2 ratio. - Reply to this comment

It was not Obma's CIA Chief but a document from the Bush era. I love it when the CIA Chief is releasing documents without editing them.

I like how Leon Panetta took over the CIA in January or February this year, has NO IDEA what happened in the agency way back when, but all the neo cons take what he says as ironclad proof.
Let's see their opinion of him, if and when he says that the war in Iraq made us less safe. - Reply to this comment

- When President Obama won the Presidency, I posted many times , in many sections that even if Obama won, that the Repub's would do everything in there Power to Sabotage, Destroy, Undermine, Smear and try to ruin any attempts by Pres. Obama to fix the Horrific Mess the Republicans left our Country in. War in Iraq for no reason other than a grab for Oil Cheney and Halliburton, the six Trillion increase of the Debt, Katrina Disaster, one and a half Trillion deficit from a 250 Billion surplus, the increase in ten Million more Illegals Bush and Rove allowed in and then sabotaged.... I was right !!! The Repig's will always be against Obama's attempt to Fix... Make No Mistake GOP--- He Will Succeed.!!!

- OBAMA/CHENEY DUEL ON THE TORTURE ISSUE
Democrats lost the argument on the torture issue when they allowed Cheney and other Republicans to successfully frame the debate around the ?effectiveness? of enhanced interrogation methods. And the corporate media went along, happily. The logical implication is stark and simple: If you can prove it is effective, then it is O.K. to use it. And to further make the point, Obama reserved for himself the right to use it in future if need be. Where then is the moral argument? Principle is indivisible--either it is priciple or it is not. Obama and Democrats should have insisted that what is at stake it the illegality and cruelty of certain interrogation methods such as waterboarding and prolonged sleep deprivation. Period. Finally, Obama should not have released classified documents on the issue selectively. He was hoping that that would be enough to show his transparency and that the issue would just go away. Now it is at center stage! That is why he should have supported a full-blown investigation(that should have shot Cheney?s mouth up)?making it clear that it is not simply a policy dispute between one another and another (another frame) but an investigation of possible criminality with the attendant need to uphold the law and regain U.S moral high ground in the commity of nations. Finally, Democrats in the Senate are doing their damn best to sabotage their own President--just think of their grandstanding on Gitmo closing! - Reply to this comment
- Rush Limbaugh maintained his Dominant Role as Leader of the GOP today. With all of the coughing that DICK cheney did today he sounded almost terminal.

Right now, this matter is a "She said He said" Either you trust the CIA under Bush/Cheney or you trust Pelosi. Let me help you recall that under Bush/Cheney, the CIA told us that Saddam had WMD and married to Al-Qaeda. You decide if your Party is Above your beloved Country.
