While everyone goes bananas parsing Sotomayor, let’s bring the conversation back to where Obama really really wanted to steer it from: Torture. (I promise more TK on Sotomaybe soon!)
Mr. Obama, the man who says one thing with the absolutist’s flare of a preacher, and then does exactly another with the politician’s manipulative triangulation, has come down here on torture and rule of law: in Bush Land.
O is keeping rendition alive and well. (On the stump, O spit at W’s renditions.)

There is no way that anyone could keep a straight face and say that John Dickerson, political writer for Slate, is not an extremely biased political writer. His work against Hillary Clinton and his promotional work for Barack Obama was so evident, that his defenders on Slate resorted to saying that Slate was biased, DUH, of course, because it was a site dedicated to commentary.

Last February, Naomi Wolf, thus and so “feminist,” gave Obama the benefit of the doubt. She withheld that benefit of the doubt from Hillary Clinton. Wolf wrote an Op/Ed on HuffPo titled: “Why Barack Obama Got My Vote”.
Her reason for going public was to let others know, they too, should give Obama the benefit of the doubt and vote Obama over Clinton.

Wolf’s Op/Ed was a ramble on the evils of the Military Commissions Act/renditions/torture, that fulminated this:

With a looming 9 trillion dollar deficit, one can imagine why Obama might not want to get tangled up on torturous talk about torture. Yet….
On the stump Obama talked the talk about torture; boy of boy, did he hate that torture shit. Compare and contrast Obama then to Obama now, now… when what he says actually counts.
