Wrong Robert, Obama is in charge. Here's a little lesson on the fundamentals of political viability: Every cabinet member, every special envoy, every; presidential appointee, serves at the pleasure of the president, and supports the president's policies in public or leaves office. > Why don't you write your friend, Hillary, and asked her, what's up with these > issues, that you so specifically mention, here... > R.G. > Why don't you write your friend Obama and ask why he has gone back on his promises? > > > > Obama defends "Prolonged Detention" instead of Habeas Corpus > > Obama wants to imprison people for pre-crime: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jshogbjtYs&feature=related > > Re: Prolonged Detention: During the primary both Hillary and Obama said they would restore Habeas Corpus. Obama's reversal of this position is his decision alone. Hillary has not said whether she agrees of disagrees with him on this issue. I suspect privately she disagrees but it is not her place to contradict Obama in public. > > Suppression of torture photos instead of promise of transparency > > Obama wants to conceal evidence of war crimes > > http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/06/05/photos/index.html > > Re: Suppression of torture photos: Obama has stated in public his opposition to releasing the torture photos and reluctance to pursuing prosecutions of the Bush administration for War Crimes.

For me, it was an indication of his willingness to backpedal on issues important to the left. Further, the Senate didn't even need his vote to pass the FISA bill. > > On the "Journal", Scahill says how the war policies of Barack Obama are no > > different or radical from that of the George Bush Administration.

During the primary, Scahill was a rabid Obama supporter. I doubt he is now.
