Lyle you are starting to sound like a right wing Brockton. You want Obama to appear weak and you want to believe that the press is some left wing liberal puppet that covers everything up. Do you really believe that Obama's predecessor Bush JR being told by the CIA that Al Qaeda were preparing an attack prior to 9/11 and then him responding "you've covered your ass now" before resuming his holiday is any different ? Mcain himself is not in the slightest bit interested in security issues or what actually went on he just wants to pick up an old stick and beat Obama with it. It smacks of desperation. Bigger than Watergate? Purlease.
