INVESTIGATING "THE CHENEY SECRET CIA PROGRAM" IS MERELY LEFTIST MISDIRECTION: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS RWNH AND HOT AIR BY A DAY

RWNH TODAY: PROSECUTING TORTURE AS A DISTRACTION FROM THE ECONOMY:

Methinks the Obama administration doth protest too much. A distraction like this is just what the doctor ordered to take people’s minds off the fact that the stim bill isn’t working, that there is a growing call from Obama’s left flank for a second stimulus measure, that his cap and trade bill is in big trouble in the senate, and that it is far from certain that his his health care plan will come out the way he wants - with a public option that will be paid for without taxing the middle class.

Rallying his base to the cause of prosecuting Bush administration officials for torture will also take their minds off how he has betrayed them on a host of issues from gay rights to his agreement to indefinite detentions of terrorists.

So might this unleashing of Holder on Bush era torture crimes be nothing more than a distraction from the woeful economy that is resisting the president’s importunings to improve? Obama wouldn’t be the first president to use the tactic and he wouldn’t be the last if that is his game.

WE POSTED IT YESTERDAY - BEFORE MORAN OR HOT AIR:

THIS ATTACK ON BUSH-CHENEY IS AN ATTEMPT BY THE LEFT TO DISTRACT THE PUBLIC - ESPECIALLY THE INDEPENDENTS - AND KEEP THEM FROM MOVING RIGHT AND TOWARD THE GOP ON FISCAL, SPENDING, REGULATORY AND TAX ISSUES.

THE LEFT DOESN'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO HONE IN ON THE ULTRA-LEFT CAP & TRADE AND OBAMACARE PROPOSALS.

TO FURTHER DISTRACT US, OBAMA AND HOLDER MAY EVEN APPOINT A TORTURE INVESTIGATOR/PROSECUTOR. (MORE HERE.)
