Michelle Obama: 'Everyone Should Have a Set of Personal Assistants'

Step and fetch is back and well at the white house!


Fox is the only news to cover this story, Why?

It is hard to believe how so many of you are ignorant as to the real facts on interrogation. Your hatred for Bush and Cheney has blinded you to the reality of the world and, along with Obama, is putting the US at greater risk.

if torture works we should all be on the rack

but wait, MAYBE WE ARE: NOT ONCE BUT TWICE THE NUMBER OF GINSU KNIVES!

" "Meetings were usually chaired by Alberto Gonzales," who was then White House counsel and later became Bush's second attorney general. Yoo identified other key players as Timothy Flanigan, Gonzales's deputy; William Howard Taft IV from State; John Bellinger from the NSC; William "Jim" Haynes from the Pentagon; and David Addington, counsel to Vice President Dick Cheney.

What Yoo's book and other evidence make clear is that the lawyers from the Justice Department's OLC weren't just legal scholars handing down opinions from an ivory tower; they were participants in how to make Bush's desired actions "legal," even if the arguments were professionally flawed."

If Bush had bothered to finish the job in Afghanistan -- the place from which we were actually attacked -- in a timely fashion, we'd have been done long ago. We should have gone in, blown through the Taliban for being in our way, destroyed Al Qaeda and gotten the hell out. We should never have tried to take and hold territory in Afghanistan beyond what was needed to protect our combat trains.

But Bush was such a useful idiot for his puppet masters that he diverted his attention to Iraq, which posed no threat to us -- and he neglected the important business in Afghanistan.

What a load of hogwash! Gee, your little post failed to mention that they scattered to Pakistan and regrouped there instead of Afghanistan. Oh yeah, Afghanistan would be a done deal already, NOT.

To finish the job in 2001 we would have had to invade Pakistan, plain and simple. Incredibly naive of you to believe that our soldiers would all be home by now, Pakistan has insured that they are not coming home for years to come.

Seriously - Was this a joke? Bob Schieffer inviting Dick Cheney to be on his program for "Mother's Day".

This reminds me of last year when the Oil Industry
Exec's were called in to Washington on April Fool's Day.
The big difference was that we were the fools then.

Pelosi was for torture, before she was against it.

GRAVY, YOUR RESPONSES IN NO WAY RESEMBLE AN "INDEPENDENT" VOTER AS YOU CLAIM TO BE. AN INDEPENDENT VOTER WOULD QUESTION "BOTH" PARTIES WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU NEVER DO. IT'S PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT NANCY PELOSI WAS UP TO HER NECK IN "EVERYTHING" AND YOU ASK FOR PROOF OF HER BEING "FOR" SOMETHING BEFORE SHE WAS "AGAINST" IT. PLEEAASSEEE! I'M EMBARRASSED FOR YOU THAT YOU ALWAYS COME TO THE RESCUE FOR LIBS IN CONGRESS. HOW ABOUT YOU USE THE SAME BRUSH YOU SMEAR REPUBLICANS WITH ON THE DEMOCRATS THAT O.K'D EVERYTHING? I HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU DO THAT WHICH SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. YOU ARE A LIB IN DENIAL. SEARING TRUTH IS A LIB THAT DOES NOT IGNORE THE OBVIOUS, DOES NOT BECOME A "GET BUSH" ROBOT, AND RETAINS THE ABILITY TO QUESTION "BOTH" SIDES. YOU FAIL AT THIS MISERABLY, SO I WILL CONTINUE TO PLACE YOU IN THE LIB CATEGORY UNTIL YOU START QUESTIONING "BOTH" SIDES.

Cheney says that he kept the US safe from terrorism. I say he put us more at risk. The additional risk is due to the million new terrorists (way more than we are holding at Gitmo) that Bush, et. al. created when he invaded Iraq. Did the baby gloved CBS guy ask Cheney about that?

you just no now all the times Bush saves us becase he has beleave in god and his word bible

[GOP_gal_fer_ya]

You don't have to make excuses for the liberals. We seem to be the only ones who play by the rules. The liberals are just like the French....the only two words they know are surrender and retreat. They wouldn't go to war to defend their own mother. The liberals have always been cowards. They say they want peace but the truth is that they're chicken ________.
