Obama Mouthpiece Dodges Question About Nancy Pelosi

• May 16, 2009

The Obama administration doesn’t want any part of the mess at hand.
This is Obama’s style of “leadership,” I guess.

Real Clear Politics’ description of the exchange:

FOX News’ Major Garrett was the first and only reporter to ask Press Secretary Robert Gibbs what the White House’s reaction is to Nancy Pelosi’s accusation that the C.I.A. lied to her. Gibbs said President Obama is “keeping the American people safe by looking forward.” Garrett reminded Gibbs this is a serious matter, leading Gibbs to respond that he will not “R.S.V.P” to get involved.

I don’t think the Obama administration gets off that easy. Obama is the one who opened this can of worms by wanting to hold hearings and prosecute Bush administration officials involved in waterboarding. Now it has become clear (at least to me) that, despite her lies to the contrary, Nancy Pelosi knew the waterboarding was happening and gave it at least her tacit approval. Obama is also the one sitting on the intelligence documents that could a) prove definitively one way or another whether Pelosi is lying and b) whether or not waterboarding worked to gain intelligence that stopped attacks, he is right in the middle of this.
But, as usual, the Obama administration is all form and little substance.

Panetta’s an old friend of both Clinton’s, and Botox Nancy endorsed the 0. Maybe some payback is in order, if we’re lucky.

Pass the popcorn, this ain’t going away.

Do not think that these amateurish, sophomoric really, exchanges are not being noted by other countries which wish to gain from this countries demise. The reporters should refrain from asking any question which might embarrass, further, our great, well still better than most,country. Believe me others are watching these children conduct the business of government and are wondering whether this is a Hollywood set-up or what. This is childish bulls–t, and not worthy of a sixth grade class play. And the “hysterical one”, Pelosi, is nearly ready to implode. To paraphrase Vince Lombardi “Jesus Christ; can’t anybody play ball around here”?

Greetings:

What’s interesting to me is that one of the heads of the Legislative Branch (and second in line to succeed to the Presidency) states that an agency of the Executive Branch lied to her and the head of the Executive Branch finds no reason either to stand up for his agency or to investigate the matter. I think I missed this chapter in the leadership handbook.

I hope that all those over at the CIA are putting this incident in their not to be forgotten file.

Gibbs is a bumbling boob, I would be surprised if he last long in the NOBAMA administration. It will be interesting to see if he will make Barry O’s four years in office.

Despicable. Just despicable.

Who would have thought that Nancy Pelosi could in fact be the first high-ranking Democrat to fall victim to the “swamp draining” of Congress she was supposed to be leading?

The other truth is that the NOBAMA administation doesn’t want to comment on Nancy’s missdeads and lies.
