It's not collusion. It's chain of command. The Attorney General serves at the pleasure of the president as part of his cabinet. What you are seeing, by virtue of his being allowed to continue in the job, is the president's will.

Perception was one of the key reasons stated as to why they would be tried in Federal rather than military court. You seriously think that the rest of the world is going to believe that these guys got a fair trial unless they are acquitted? I know if they were in Russia and Putin or his puppet President said he thought they would be executed before the trail I would have serious doubts that the trial was remotely fair regardless of the guilt of the accused. Same for China or just about any country.

The reality of a situation and the perception are often far apart. Obama's statemnts make it look like he knows what the outcome will be prior to the trial. He should have said some gibberish about believing in the American justice system. But lets face it, the polls dont like the decision and he hates being on the wrong side of those. So he "assured" the unhappy citizens that executions will be held. Prior to the trial being held.

the president can certainly fire the a.g. if he wants.

i think riot's point (and she can correct me if i'm wrong) is that the a.g. in particular is supposed to have an arm's length relationship with the white house to avoid the fact or appearence of political interference in his/her decision's.

you only need to go back as far as the incompetent and gutless alberto gonzales to see why you need a strong individual to stand up against any inappropriate attempts by the white house to interfere in or direct the a.g.'s decisions.

it's appropriate and expected that the secretary of state sometimes receives direction from the white house. it's completely inapproriate and anti-democratic for the nations prosecutor in chief to do so.

Reno time!

Set the churches afire!

News flash. O'Dumbass rating drops to below %50. Lets impeach this imbecile before he really ruins this great country of ours and it will take many years to unscrew his mess.

lack of popularity isn't an impeachable offense.

I love this new bumper sticker that is being sold:

One
Big
Ass
Mistake
America

Dude..everyone here knows you are a right wing redneck and a Veteran who wants our President dead, but can you try and post something besides hate? Maybe a solution to what you feel are our economic issues?

Vote None of the Above 2010

? ..

Oh, the other haters are far ahead of you, with the Psalm "pray for Obama" assassination-hope stuff. I personally hope they are all terribly inconvenienced by the FBI for a few hours each.

First off I wouldnt wish death on anyone even on a person like you. I might be right wing person but how does that make me a redneck? Im sure your one of the millions who believed in O'Dumbass lies. Yes I am proud to be a Veteran, its a great accomplishment. I guess you cant accept the truth and would rather see this country go down the crappers. Im sure you feel illegals should get free health care.

I wouldnt wish for the Pres to get assassinated. Im not that low of a person. Im sure GBBob thinks I am though. But this is America and we are all entiled to our opinions.

About the only thing he got right was that I am a Veteran.

I laughed.

Makes me think he supports O'Dumbass and probably feels that people should get get handouts when it comes to health insurance. He probably believes that a person not working and not looking for a job but can work should have his health insurance paid for by the taxpayers.

They already are!

I wanted to give credit where credit was due

gotcha

I get it!
His name his Obama....and you think he is a dumb ass.....so you combine the two and get.....O'Dumbass!
Comic gold dude!
