On FOX News Sunday, Mara Liasson (a quality reporter from NPR), and Brit Hume (FOX News) expressed concern about Pres BO standing up to the left.
Hume was great:
"Well, the base was not placated, and Obama -- boy, and it doesn't seem to take more than the slightest breeze from his left to get him to change his mind -- changed his mind.
This was weak."
Moral of the story: BO owes the left big time. BO owes the nomination to the left. He has to listen to them!
Moral of the story #2: BO has no history of standing up to anybody.
He sat in Rev Wright's church.
He stayed with Gov Blago despite obvious corruption. Can you believe that BO was one of Blago's strongest supporters as late as 2006? Didn't everybody in Illinois know that Blago was deep in corruption? Where was BO?
He buckled over Washington DC's schools for poor kids. He couldn't stand up to the unions! Juan Williams, an honest liberal, called it: Obama's sin against our kids!
Can you cite an example of BO standing up to anybody?
Michael Scheuer, the chief of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit from 1996 to 1999, is the author of "Marching Toward Hell: America and Islam After Iraq."
This is what he wrote about the memos and the witchhunt:
"Americans and their country's security will be the losers.
The Republicans do not have the votes to stop Obama, and the world will not be safer for America because the president abandons interrogations to please his party's left wing and the European pacifists it so admires.
Both are incorrigibly anti-American, oppose the use of force in America's defense and -- like Obama -- naively believe that the West's Islamist foes can be sweet-talked into a future alive with the sound of kumbaya.
So if the above worst-case scenario ever comes to pass, Americans will have at least two things from which to take solace, even after the loss of major cities and tens of thousands of countrymen.
First, they will know that their president believes that those losses are a small price to pay for stopping interrogations and making foreign peoples like us more.
And second, they will see Osama bin Laden's shy smile turn into a calm and beautiful God-is-Great grin."
Pres BO needs to tell the left to go fly a kite and stop being so hateful.

Byron York is right: In time of victory, why is the left so angry?
He needs to shut down the hateful left or he will own the next attack.
Wonder if Pres BO understands what that means?

It means that his presidency is over.
It means the Carter-ization of the Dems all over again. I think that most Dems know how that Carter episode turned out!
