Come on...Make some Noise!
We are the ones that we have been waiting for.....
cause now we all know, President Obama is not a Messiah.
He's dealing with a bunch of shit....
but he's released the memos.


Perhaps there is something that we can do,
instead of simply demanding that it just be done!



Congressman Jerrold Nadler has just publicly asked that the Attorney General appoint a special prosecutor. Please THANK HIM, and please ask him and ask your congress member to jointly send to Eric Holder the letter that Nadler and 55 other congress members sent to Michael Mukasey requesting a special prosecutor last summer, or an updated version thereof.

Here is a release from Nadler's office:

Nadler Applauds Obama Administration's Transparency on Torture
Memos Renews Call for Special Prosecutor and Congressional Investigation


Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, praised President Obama and the Department of Justice for releasing four legal memos on the torture of detainees that had previously been concealed by the Bush administration. Rep. Nadler, however, called on the Obama administration to go further and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute those responsible for authorizing the torture. He also said that a Congressional investigation is absolutely warranted. Rep Nadler released the following statement:

updated letter: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/41743

Send Nadler your support:

1. Good idea!
Nadler is one of the (then-)minority Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee
that spoke out with great passion and eloquence against impeaching Bill Clinton, something
Henry Hyde was hell-bent on doing no matter what. Nadler is definitely one of the good guys.

2. The people throwing messiah label at President Obama
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 03:32 AM by RandomThoughts
Are people against his policies for there own ends. They are the ones making that up. President Obama has said in speeches that he makes mistakes, he has never made the Messiah claim, and I don't know anyone that thinks he is the Messiah.

I think the Messiah is Jesus Christ that died 2000 years ago, then rose again. And through the spirit of God, goodness kindness and love, he can be with people, millions of people, as the Holy Spirit. Other people have different beliefs, but no one that I know of is calling President Obama the Messiah. But some are claiming others are doing that. Does that make sense, they are trying to say, he is saying or is something, that he has not claimed or said he is. They are making it up for there own gain.

If the people making those false claims (false claims saying others are making false claims) thought about it, they would realize they are doing it for there own ego or own gain, not based on information, thinking, or even faith.

People are sinners, none are perfect, but most try to do good, and all fail at it at times. No man is a God, although many are deceived into trying to claim that, or throw the false claim to smear others.

4. The weak leadership in the Dem Party must stop. Obama showed what his is. And he can't go back on it
now. All talk - all bullshit. Pardon my tin ear from now on.

6. is this the sound of silence?
I can't think of one.

But then there are those who think Pres Obama is the messiah- :evilgrin:

He isn't perfect, but he's doing a good job dealing with one hell of a mess.

:hi:
