Deconstructing Obama's Excuses

Are you pissed at the way President Obama is running the country?

Well here's ONE thing we can all agree on......

Gibbs' Replies to a Question Re: Torture Photos

Is it probable that the president wants a prosecutor to see the photos & not the world

Crosspost looking for Suggestions:

Alphacat has done it again, new video

OK! Hey, let's act like Obama released the torture photos! Gee, look at what you could see!

The next American POW - why does Cheney advocate waterboarding our own troops?

In lieu of no new torture photos being available, perhaps these will do in a pinch (no pun intended)

I trust Obama to balance and weigh important principles, for now.

Best joke from the Daily Show last night:

Website tracks Obama campaign promises. What say you to their score?

"Obama's bid to suppress prisoner abuse pictures fails as images are leaked"
