Btw, it's nice to see that DemocracyNow! has picked up the Ed Horgan story (see this link). Not much there, but it is something, and I'm glad to see someone else pick up this issue.

Not all of us have been so soft on Obama as you might imagine. I know you won’t find it in my stories. And what about Jane on Obama’s deals with Big PHARMa and the health care industry in general, bmaz on Obama’s twisting on “state secrets”, Siun on the Afghanistan War, etc., etc.

You must have us confused with something that has a more orange tint.

Or was that *the Leader of the Free World*? I must have JM Synge on the brain this Paddy’s Day.

Jeff, thanks for your work on this. Maybe Ireland can provide a patch of ground for asking some of the ethical questions that Obama and the media ignore. Being so small and all, things there can sometimes slip below the corporate (militarist) radar and then go public. I remember in 2004 when an Irish public radio reporter had the temerity to ask Bush if he *really* thought the world was safer since the Iraq war – and Boyboy and his handlers had a fit. It was not supposed to happen that someone be allowed to get so close to the *Leader of the Western World* with real (and therefore dangerous) questions.

I find the continued generosity of the benefit of the benefit of the doubt so many people continue to give President Obama amazing. On blog after blog, I find excuses being made for his consistently corporatist actions–ranging from CIA threats to he just can’t stand up to the small sliver of the population that still supports the Republicans. Come on, folks, he and Rahm are doing exactly what THEY want to do–and it sure as heck isn’t about standing up for US, the People, on any front.

meat puppet. I think this as good of an explanation as I can think of, He seems more and more like a powerless potemkin face everyday, especially in regards to torture or foreign policy.
I read some stories about Jimmy Carter, The CiA was leaving warning messages in the newspaper, but coded. He was scared shitless.

It’s on TV in SF and It belongs at least in part to AL Gore.
Remember the 2 asian women who got arrested in North Korea, and Clinton got them out? They worked for link TV.
