(442 posts)President Obama needs to call a press conference, stand up and say something akin to the following:
First of all this, allegedly, out of control and reckless program was started under the Bush Administration and, more than likely, was at least tacitly approved by the Committee now chaired by Mr. Issa! To ask for the resignation of my Attorney General over the wrongful death of 1 American when the Previous President's 3 Attorney's General presided over the wrongful deaths of more than 4,000 American Service members based on lies that those Attorney's General assisted in promulgating to the American people is patently ridiculous and I wont stand for it. The previous occupant of my post invoked the State Secrets privilege 6 times to my 1 and the best answer you could get out of his longest standing Attorney General was, "I don't recall" (which he uttered more than 50 times during 2 hours of testimony). This is a political witch hunt and, quite frankly, it's an insult to the American people that you are wasting your time with such ridiculous horse-hockey when there are millions of Americans out of work and struggling to make ends meet. The simple fact that you would be so foolish as to ask for the resignation of my Attorney General in light of the conduct of the past 3 men to hold that post is, frankly, laughable and so we in the Administration are going to treat it as such!
