Political Punch

NRAL's Johnson is outraged at the torture memo, but thinks torturing and killing babies about to born is a so called right. What twisted logic is that? Her outrage is a joke. She is only outraged because Bush was Pro-life.

Feel the Change?

yes

Obama is showing sincerity in cleaning up things through the Panetta appointment and Dawn Johnsen's. Must say I'm impressed with her double credentials of being he legal director of NARAL along with her taking on torture issues in a direct manner with Yoo.

We'll soon get to see how reality stacks up against promises made when the new administration faces the same problems and hard decisions this administration has been handed and more to come. It's much easier to criticize the decisions of others, much easier to exercise 20/20 hindsight, than to make decisions that defy criticism after the fact.

Interesting to see all these anti-Obama types desperately scratching around for any little bit of dirt on Obama . . . and coming up with so little.

Obama could not be more brazen and outrageous. I bet he plans to implement the policies the public actually voted for. Already he is filling regulatory positions with “jack booted thugs” who want to actually REGULATE industry, instead of the industry-stooge-hack-lobbyists who filled the positions over the past 8 years. Outrageous.

Just like another Clinton 'third' term.

It's shaping up to be a Clinton “Third” term. Where is Janet Reno and her thug in the Justice Department? Look for Clinton era attacks on the First and Second Amendments, a jack booted thug mentality against anybody who doesn't agree with the Obama brand of "change," and a reinterpretation of our Constitution. Hurry up and get here 2012.

Now idiot Obama supporter is a coward and has stolen my screen name.

Obama: "I will make clear that we are not at war with Islam, that we will stand with those who are willing to stand up for their future, and that we need their effort to defeat the prophets of hate and violence,"

Bush has been saying that for the last 7 years too, and? It is so easy to make vague promises of "change" and everyone believing whatever it is they what to believe in.

Wake up people!

Not only did HAMAS rain 4000 rockets down on Israal in the past few years. We must demand Obama to stop Israel from defending themselves.

Great idea, Blake. Why don't you pass that along to the State Department?

2) PEBO's nominee for Assistant AG for the Office of Legal Counsel, Dawn Johnsen -- a former legal director for NARAL -- has written scathingly about former Bush DOJ official John Yoo's 2002 "torture memo."
-----
I wonder if John Yoo wrote a memo supporting performing abortions on terrorist's kids without getting permission of the terrorist adults, if Dawn Johnson would consider that torture of the parents.

William J. LePetomane - Those rockets are totally ineffective, and Israel deserves every one for embargoing Gaza and forcing the entire population to live in misery. The Lord commanded Israel not to use collective retribution. Israel is an abomination. We should sell Hamas better rockets so it is a fair fight.

#1 fan, seems like you may have some competition for that spot, Indonesia Muslims are wearing Obama masks. The masks are picture of Obama with a cigarette dangling out his mouth.

Obama's #1 Fan: temper that hatred, pal. It will eat you up.

Blake --- why don't the LA TIMES release the video of Obama attending a victory party of a known PLO terrorist he attended along with AYERS.

This just proves MEDIA bias.

Peace Train: you forgot one additional point. Those people also lob rockets into Israel.

hey Obama's #1 fan - What is it you think Obama did regarding Blago? Do you think he paid Blago money? Or, told Jackson to pay to play? Was there anything on the tapes?? Blago even stated that Obama was not going to offer anything. So what is it you think Obama did? BTW, I freaking despise Obama. More than you ever could. But at least I have some real reasons. You seem to be just another idiot w/ aserious inability to figure out what is going on

President-elect Obama has chosen anti choice, pro abstinence education, anti embryonic stem cell research, anti labor, anti union, anti same-sex marriage and anti civil union Tim Kaine to chair the DNC.”

Kaine to Chair DNC: Feel the Change?

Predictably enough, no US reporters had thought to ask Mr. Obama what he would do if he and his family were evicted from their home and forced to live in a squalid ghetto in abject poverty, with no medical care, no clean water, no electricity and scarcely any food, while his land was given to settlers who had no legal entitlement to it; or how he would feel if his two daughters were forced to live under a regime which denied them their most basic human and civil rights, and under which they were persecuted and humiliated on a daily basis.

Or, if they were unlucky enough to live in Gaza, bombed on a daily basis.
