I have a new working theory of Obama:

That his rhetoric never matches his actions because he chooses his rhetoric to counterbalance his actions.

Thus, when conservatives hear him sound like a leftist, as in his national security speech, they should actually be relieved because it means that he intends to keep the Bush policies unchanged. But when he sounds reasonable and centrist, as in his economic pronouncements, then hang onto your wallets!

One other observation: Just because Obama acknowledges that certain choices are "hard" does not mean that he will treat decisions other than his own with any respect.

Great idea!!! Send those thoughts to one or two of the major bloggers...Maybe they can shame MSM, at least a little bit, for the media's lack of questions for Obama.

Will all these terrorist suspects get off if they go on trial here in the US because someone didn't read them their Miranda rights?

And how much is it going to cost the US Taxpayers to hire legal expertise for all of these wantabe murderers of Americans....

6. If merely acknowledging use of water boarding and incarceration at Gitmo "created terrorists", how does President Obama explain the June 25, 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers, February 26, 1993 bombing of the WTC, 1983 U.S. Embassy bombing in Beirut, October 12, 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole?
