Well, if Obama needs to have a "hair-trigger threat of martial law" he must have a good reason... Who are we to question it???

So, the President is saying that the only way to protect reporters from his Justice Department is for Congress to pass a law protecting reporters from his Justice Department because he, apparently, has no control over his Justice Department???
Aren't laws supposed to protect us from criminals?
What does it say when a Pesident is calling for laws to protect us from not just the Government, but his branch of the Governmant specifically?
And before we rush to pass more laws, have we determined that the Justice Departments actions were legal under existing laws?

A bit more than “sloppy PR” according to ABC News.
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/201…
More like baled faced lies:
White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department. The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.
That would appear to directly contradict what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said about the talking points in November.
“Those talking points originated from the intelligence community. They reflect the IC’s best assessments of what they thought had happened,” Carney told reporters at the White House press briefing on November 28, 2012. “The White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing the word ‘consulate’ to ‘diplomatic facility’ because ‘consulate’ was inaccurate.”
And politically motivated cover-ups:
State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland raised specific objections to this paragraph drafted by the CIA in its earlier versions of the talking points:
“The Agency has produced numerous pieces on the threat of extremists linked to al-Qa’ida in Benghazi and eastern Libya. These noted that, since April, there have been at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi by unidentified assailants, including the June attack against the British Ambassador’s convoy. We cannot rule out the individuals has previously surveilled the U.S. facilities, also contributing to the efficacy of the attacks.”
In an email to officials at the White House and the intelligence agencies, State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland took issue with including that information because it “could be abused by members [of Congress] to beat up the State Department for not paying attention to warnings, so why would we want to feed that either? Concerned …”
The paragraph was entirely deleted.

A second rate burglary brought Nixon down while he was extracting us from Kennedy & Johnson’s war in Vietnam (despite Democrats patriotically rallying around the president). Why should "sloppy PR" do less for Obama?

Chuck,
No one knows (or cares) who the fuck Henry Louis Gates Jr. is. He would still be an unknown nobody to the vast majority of the population (essentially everyone) if he hadn’t leveraged his perceived victimization to opportunistically create a national (though fleeting) moment of race theater.
A fact illustrated by your need to mention the "beer summit" in context with him (one only feels compelled to point out neglecting to mention a person's most significant claim to fame if it is, indeed, his most significant claim to fame.)
You really are an incorrigibly sycophantic little name dropper aren’t you?
And really... drunk? More likely you were to giddy to operate your cell phone. (And pissing yourself like a school girl meeting Justin Biber in an airport.)

When will we ban black powder revolvers, single shot muzzle loaded percussion pistols, and a World War I era flare pistols? These are not hunting weapons. They are made for only one purpose. Killing 18th century people. Well, that and shooting flares into the air.

"Officers were unable to locate the suspect, whom the victim described as a tall, thin, white man with bad acne and teeth."
Funny... we almost never see descriptions of suspects on Slog. Unless, of course, they have "bad acne and teeth".
