He has publically ignored OBL since he responded to a question about him that he wasn't much concerned, or words to that effect. That was over a year ago. Guess the Mid-terms provide the stimulus to be a little more pragmatic when it comes to protecting us all over here, eh? Could that be called a flip, flop, flip?

As the saying goes....people who live in glass houses.... I also find it quite ironic that you decry that he will talk on tolerance when which country has invaded others and is killing foreigners in their homeland? Iran.....no. I'm not saying I like this man but often listening to people you do not like or hearing things that you might not want to hear allows you to make informed and logical decisions. RRS,

Bush obeying the law? Bush doing the moral thing? Bush listening to Congress? I suspect not. When the Law gets in the way they ALWAYS go around it. They never do the right thing. Never. They've either made the secret section , really really super secret, or they'll just use the carte blance of Bush's previous signing statements to allow their war crimes. Another way around doing the right thing is to outsourse torture to mercenaries who don't follow the Army field manual. That sounds more like George Bush.
