to say what will get him elected. THEN comes the reality of the job of POTUS.
Bush took a whacking over this (pun intended!!) but O bama will come out smelling like a rose....same stigma....same program....same secrets....but just watch as this unfolds.....along with many others.

How quietly this one is being played....hmmnnn....media polarity? Nah couldn't be

BTK

It's too bad "ejp" chose to quote a racist news source. It just skips the communist-socialist charges and goes right to "McChimpy" (I Get it- O'Bama sounds Irish, but is a monkey).

Several things to note:

1.) W. ignored virtually ALL of the Supreme Court's orders to cease and desist, arguing Dick Cheney's "concept" of Executive Privilege.

2.) Obama's paper trail has not reached the Circuit Court let alone the Supreme Court. Let's see how he reacts if the Court order him to respond.

3.) I'd rather have a president who admits he may have misjudged a situation and corrects an error, than one who is so dogmatic as to risk everything. including the safeguards of the Constitution to prove he's never made a mistake.

It was the only site that had any info on the topic,the cheerleaders in the main stream media strangely missed the info.
Please feel free to skip over what I post and save me the racist crap.
Thanks
The comments are posted by individuals and I strongly disagree with the terms used by those posters on the site.
The web site is by Michelle Malkin a noted journalist.

I think the site "Hot Air--Get your Fill" says it all.

The bottom line is that each media outlet targets specific markets, and they are in the business of satisfying their audience with what that audience wants to hear or see. That's business!

None of the media outlets are philanthropic or "unbiased," and the glass is always reported as "half-full" or "half-empty," depending on what the audience wants to believe. If the media outlet strays from that model, their market share, revenues, etc. are negatively affected, and no one shoots the golden goose.

Its our job, as the audience, to sift through the left-right-up-down-center-Democrat-Republican-Socialist-et cetera writings and broadcasts to glean what's REALLY the truth. They ALL distort the truth to some degree!

I find myself having the same feelings and try very hard not to allow them to control my sifting through of facts.

The attacks for about 5 years, and much of it very personal and not attached to decision making, was disturbing NOT because of allegiance to G Bush, but the lack of fact reporting.

This post refers to this...."I plan to give Obama the same respect that was given to President Bush by the Dems.. "

My apologies- my full post didn't make it and I had to leave. Regarding the semi-paranoia about only one (conservative) site "Hot Air" covering this story, what follows is what I was trying to post.

Pleeease explain what part of "the only site that had any info"? means in light of this very small portion of the 10,000,000 hits listed on Google? Your mis-statements literally imply conspiracy where clearly, none exists. (At least in this case.)

BTW- I simply Googled "Obama State Secrets"

Our so-called President has put so many people in his sphere that clearly would NEVER get the lowest clearance. Now they will be getting close to level 6.

Our country is NOT safer with this dude. His European/Middle East tour was embarrassing.

Our home is an Obama free zone. Everyone welcome, so long as you know that
