What's your take on Obama asserting Executive Privilege on the 'Fast and Furious' documents?

37. Weird. I read that it was an era of bipartisan comity-

the halcyon days of yore, in fact. And I just can't believe that Democrats would criticize a sitting President. He was fighting a very important war after all! If we didn't fight Communists over there in Indochina, we'd soon be fighting them on Main St., Anytown USA. I know that was commonly understood to be the reason behind the war because I've seen and heard US enlisted men say exactly that in the Vietnam documentary, Hearts and Minds. If the President is to be obeyed and deferred to now during this time of war, in which we are again "fighting them over there" preemptively, then he must also have been so then. After all, that war forty years ago was killing far more Americans than this one is now. Democrats must have maintained appropriate respect for the office of the President, and surely would have cast aside all their possible questions and criticisms of him and his use of Executive Privilege as a unacceptable danger to the Republic in an hour of peril.

No, I don't believe Democrats objected to whatever use Richard Nixon made of Executive Privilege. They are above all consistent. That's the Democratic Party I know.

You may want to correct your recollection of history before you damage your credibility around here, and even have your motives for posting at this Democratic site called into question.
