[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 520386, member: 2189"] Speaking of torture, President Obama may be showing his political moxy and I'm impressed. First, President Obama [URL="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-obama-interrogationapr24,0,1567604.story"][COLOR=red]releases[/COLOR][/URL] photos concerning torture abuse allegations but then the next day (today) we see he [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/23/AR2009042304314_pf.html"][COLOR=red]opposes[/COLOR][/URL] a "Truth Commission" on this issue. The first article poses this question in response to it all. Has President Obama learned the Washington game of building a demand before launching the product line? Once done, he can clearly have the high road in saying he's giving the people what they want. Why do I see Rahm and Wag the Dog all in this? IMO, this is classic Clintonism. Pretty smart if that proves to be the case. Also, the Truth Commission is more a Congressional device and would show the Congress as being the provider to the power of truth. President Obama's plan may be to circumvent that focus and position the WH in the eyes of the people as being the harbinger of truth and therefore the people would look to the Presidency for all things. I see the Unitary Executive theory didn't die when Bush left Washington. Again, so much for change! If this is the case, the man has done his homework and just might score a touchdown with a gimmick play that catches everyone by surprise. [/QUOTE]
