So much for dialing down the hatred between the parties. This guy is going to tear the country apart. We may see the national guard called out to quell the riots before all this is over. But they won't be minorities rioting.

I'm sure there are republicans who will take the bait. Anytthing to get their ugly faces on TV. I'm sure McCain will be one of them.

Forget third parties, we'll need a new party to REPLACE the Republicans who have a party death wish.

a bipartisan commission

Well, another day, another Obama sleight of hand. He signs a bill for Volunteerism, and that masks opening the door (his parlance says he didn’t shut the door) to prosecuting the former Administration officials for possible criminal decisions.

Politico: CIA denies Cheney made demand

KLP Note: Cheney appears to have the correct agency to declassify the memos....and that agency wasn't the CIA....

The Obama administration denied Tuesday that former Vice President Dick Cheney had directly asked the CIA to declassify memos that he claims would vindicate Bush-era techniques for harsh interrogation of suspected terrorists.

A senior U.S. intelligence offical e-mailed: "The Agency has received no such request from the former Vice President.”

A source familiar with the request said the former vice president made the request to the National Archives, and said that is the appropriate process for requesting declassification.

On Monday, after Cheney made the statement to Fox News, the CIA declined to comment.

When reporters at Tuesday's White House briefing asked press secretary Robert Gibbs about the existence of such memos, he referred the question to the CIA.

POLITICO has asked the National Archives for comment and will post it when it arrives.

Does this mean that Obama's lawyers can expect the same treatment when/if they make decisions that others politicize????

What if the US is attacked and that was caused by inaction or other problems because the Obama Adm ignored anything to do with terrorism?
