What a difference ......
 

....... three months makes.

Obama is letting the CIA and the Bush JD lawyers off the hook.
Chris Matthews is strongly defending our anti-Castro position.
Keith Olbermann is becoming more and more disgusted with Obama.

Stay tuned for further developments.

Did he say the lawyers were off the hook? I thought it was just the
practitioners who were dependent on the instructions of others.

This is where the stark difference between left and right show up.

The left aren't afraid to criticize their leaders when there's
disagreement.

The right often remain in lockstep with its leaders no matter.

"Disgust" is your sensationalized version of what's happening. On
the left, we consider it discourse, dissent, a challenge to do the
right thing.

On the right it's considered unpatriotic, sedition or appeasement.

Well, at least the Obama administration is finally providing the
openness it promised in the campaign. Of course it's only open about
issues related to the Bush administration which he is still running
against. No word yet on when they will start to be open and keep any
of the promises they made related to their own administration...
snerk I heard a pundit this morning claiming this is just the Obama
admin keeping it's promise to be more open... LOL...

Sorry. The word "disgust" comes to mind too quickly when thinking of
Olbermann.
And before you hit the "fire" button, it is his style and manner that I
despise so much, not necessarily all his points of views. He creates more
division and distrust among people with different thoughts and ideas on a
subject than anyone I know and does so with a sneer on his face.

Back to your question .... my understanding is that the Bush's JD
department is off the hook also.

Well, of the 500 campaign promises Obama made, PolitiFact.com has him
breaking only six promises, and keeping 5 pages worth. Not bad, IMO
considering he's only been in office 3 months.

Well, I don't know how they are rating it, or how they are trimming
the info to make it look good, but the important promises such as
"reaching over party lines, bills having 5 days for study, openness
about admin officials and the waivers, no lobbiests in the admin.. the
list goes on, are being ignored...

Thanks for bringing this subject up. I don't agree with you.

It seems to me from watching and reading the various media outlets and
catching the buzz word phrases and talking points of both the lefty lefts
and the righty rights that the lefties have adopted a "we are smarter, we
are better, we are the enlightened, we are right (correct) attitude. It's at
the expense of those who don't share their viewpoints by referring to their
"inferior" status. The words "elitist" and "snob" come to mind very
quickly.

The righty rights have not picked up this habit yet, at least not to the
degree the lefty lefts have.

Examples are available daily right here in this newsgroup.

Yup, take the last "answer" by JPS calling someone "daft" for having a
reasonable point of view..
