O'Reilly unhappy that Obama is not showing outrage over the wikileaks thing.

O'Reilly's outrage over this strikes me as somewhat faux. He seems to like to have the issue de jour to get exercised about and this is the current one.

I agree with you. Publicly, we ought to adopt a "ho hum, yeah, well, so what?" attitude publicly. At the same time the Administration needs to get to the bottom of the leaks. It doesn't strike me as entirely credible that all of these documents came from PFC Manning. We have long known that the CIA and State Department leak like a sieve and are populated by lefties. If there are other leak sources they need to be ferreted out and dealt with harshly.

My theory also on why the administration seems to have such a bland response is that the leaks are consistent with Obama's underlying philosophy. I truly do not believe he has the country's best interests at heart and on some level he is not displeased by the leaks because they further his agenda of knocking the U.S. down a notch or two on the world stage.
