...that he could slip this "prolonged detention" thing in and no one would notice?

Good on Maddow for not cutting him one bit of slack here.

Thanks Sentinel for posting this.

That's the con right there , It's a known fact from the mkultra

playbook that if you divert the reality by using a positive spin you can sell anything on anyone . At least anyone who is willing to accept the bullshit. We should by now all know that Obama is nothing more than a puppet and hes the ultimate con man being used by the maniacs that run the world.

Submitted by Victoria on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 19:03.

Suddenly I've notice a lot of grumbling over on the left blogs about Obama's policies. Did they not see this coming?? Better late than never. So, are we going to see them start fighting against war again? Are they going to stop the hoping and see the reality of what is happening in and to our country by the NWO?

The left wakes up (?)

When I hear a person being so childish so often, in her case about things Republicans do (even when I don't agree with what Republicans are doing I cannot ever see myself acting that childishly), I just assume that person doesn't do much thinking and is just in it for some ego rush. Well, maybe I was jumping to conclusions.

Ron Paul wasn't on my ballot so I voted Obama.

Change.

He changed from change and I got short-changed in the process.

Not that I expected too much, but I had more faith in him than that shallow little hot-head McCain.

You're right that the policies and hypocrisy are more glaring when said with such panache. McCain would have performed similar to Bush which would just seem "normal"

Ew.

I find myself pleasantly surprised by her reporting. She has been nothing but fair with Ron Paul (most left wing media has been), she had Rand on for his candidacy announcement and now this, and all within the last several weeks. Slowly but surely the left wing media will come to realize that the differences in this administration and the last are minor.

I thought so too

Submitted by Fausty on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 20:13.

I do believe the left is beginning to wake up. Perhaps it's all those taxes hitting their wallets ... that they didn't expect!

Keep in mind what was reported in the NY Times article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/21/us/politics/21obama.html?_r=3

PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS!

"Mr. Obama did not seem to be thinking about preventive detention for terrorism suspects now held at Guantánamo Bay, but rather for those captured in the future, in settings OTHER THAN A LEGITIMATE BATTLEFIELD like Afghanistan." (caps mine)

What exactly is he talking about?!!!

Libertarians, Ron Paul supporters, returning war veterans, constitutionalists and so on.
That's what they are talking about.

The must be pretty heavily armed and ready for capture. Amazing that they let everyone know what they've going to do BEFORE confiscating all the guns. Sets a new precedent for dangerous, totalitarian regimes.

I am just happy to see someone pointing out Obama's hypocrisy.

Submitted by DeMolay on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 15:59.

I don't care who it is. Ms. Maddow has done a good thing, in this instance.
(Actually, Obama is simply expressing the hypocrisy of many Americans right now, and it is very shameful).
