Latest "Obama-nations"

[placton]

Just sayin' - offered without comment. And btw (to forestall some of the usual screeds):
-I am no troll
-voted straight Dem since Mcgoven (including Gore Kerry Obama)
-still a Democrat

1. A memo obtained by the Huffington Post confirms that the White House and the pharmaceutical lobby secretly agreed to precisely the sort of wide-ranging deal that both parties have been denying over the past week. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/13/internal-memo-confirms-bi_n_258285.html

2. If his first publicly known rendition case is any indication, there may well be a legitimate question as to whether Obama's rendition program is even more repulsive than that of George Bush. http://firedoglake.com/

AND

Uhm, rendition and torture for fraud?


Now in a federal court in suburban Washington, a case is unfolding that gives us a practical sense of what an Obama-era rendition looks like.
Raymond Azar, a 45-year-old Lebanese construction manager with a grade school education, is employed by Sima International, a Lebanon-based contractor that does work for the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also has the unlikely distinction of being the first target of a rendition carried out on the Obama watch.

According to court papers, on April 7, 2009, Azar and a Lebanese-American colleague, Dinorah Cobos, were seized by "at least eight" heavily armed FBI agents in Kabul, Afghanistan, where they had traveled for a meeting to discuss the status of one of his company's U.S. government contracts. The trip ended with Azar alighting in manacles from a Gulfstream V executive jet in Manassas, Virginia, where he was formally arrested and charged in a federal antitrust probe. http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/

2. When someone has to say they are not a troll,

I tend to believe the opposite is true. But that's just me.

4. You left out that he continues to refuse to produce a real legitimate long form birth certificate.

And.

Rendered?

Rendered from Kabul???

Rendered from Kabul to Manassas????

Maybe they'll take Azar to Okra's Louisiana Bistro and pry him with crab cakes!!!

5. Is it at all possible to engage in rational discussion ...

... of the issues without bypassing such discussion and merely engaging in "evidence collection" in order to attack an individual?? The fallacious nature (i.e. intellectually bankrupt) of such posts wherein the condemnation is posed and scapegoating is presumed instead of a more mature and reasonable discussion of the intricacies of governance employing the human and political resources available strikes me as mindless posturing and vigilantism, implying an entrenched attitude instead of a learning mode.

When I adopt a respectful attitude towards this DU community, I can easily conclude that such an assessment of OPs such as this is what leads to 'unrecommends.'
