The sum and total of what vta is talking about is that Obama is not accepting that what is going on in Egypt is a true military coup d'état. Once he acknowledges it is then by constitional law he must stop the 1.5 billion in aid we give to Egypt with the goal of them being a stabilizing force friendly to US interests in that region. What muddies the waters is that in a true military coup d'état the military takes over and is clearly in control or takes power. In this instance the military has ousted the government but have yet to clearly take power. It's definitely a fine line Obama is walking right now but the fact that he's not really being forced yet does suggest he's still on safe ground...for the moment. Just like the line of no chemical weapons in Syria though, things may force his hand very soon. Still our support for Egypt is mostly about bolstering support for peace between Israel and Palestine and since many of the powers that be seem to have strong ties to Israel I don't see too much pressure coming to Obama if it remains in a grey area like it is now.
The bit about Bush I think, was just to say the practice of Presidents doing questionable things that bend laws is nothing new. Perhaps to not appear as being one sided on the blame?
all i was really asking for was a sane explanation of how our last president both signed an order saying he could not read your mail and was in charge when the patriot act was passed . does that make things easier ?

Judge Nap and Mark Levin are a couple of the few left that have a clue... youtube away.
Obama is in no position to be saying anything about the situation in Egypt being a coup, considering his support for the coup in honduras.
But I guess it's not a coup when a left leaning leader is taken down/knocked off and replaced with a nice big business friendly Neo-Lib stooge..
This week, we had the Washington Post singing the praises of Augusto Pinochet, claiming he brought democracy back to chile(funny how they had to get rid of a democratically elected leader to do it-strange how that works) and saying that what Egypt needs, is a Pinochet of their own. Excuse me, but didn't they just get rid of their Pinochet (Pinochet meaning western backed dictator) within the last couple of years?
I agree with you...mostly. However, if you are referring to Judge Nap...or are lumping him in with the rest of the pundits....I take it that you are either, note familiar with him...or are brainwashed. Judge Nap and Mark Levin are a couple of the few left that have a clue... youtube away....
This is why the US and Israel are scared of Iran having nukes - then they can tell everyone to fuck off, like Nkorea does. But with a much better economy.
yeah Judge Napolitano is totally biased in favor of sticking to the letter of the law, constitution and bill of rights. i wish more had his biases. he's been fired a few times for getting too outspoken.

did anyone see the threat by Greenwald that if Snowden is harmed, a whole shit storm of information will be leaked, lol.
i do wonder whats up with the Russians saying they didnt get his asylum application yet, seems like they are leaving a week end window for a clever assassin to kill him before he is granted asylum, or maybe try and kidnap him from the transit zone.
Obama and Putin did have a phone call and i can't see Putin risking good future relations on Snowden. he has to make some pretense of being sympathetic to the Obama admin you'd think? really curious to see how this will develop. Russia might feel insulted at the way he is seeking only temporary asylum with Russia?
Iraq is selling most of it's oil to China now too.i would think Putin and obama have no relations IMO the time has come for usa to sit back for all there war mongoling other countries have started to to frown upon USA
all usa is doing is making them look more stupid then they already are with this all with the candian oil line to usa not happening It has effected relations with Canada which now sells the oil to who else CHINA won;t be long before usa starts loosing its allies and will be left in the dark and all alone going hungry well thats what you get for not being trustworthy i guess hell if the average US citizen knew that most of the land in usa is held in triust to pay off there debt to foriegn countries it just a matter of time before default and guess what
Iraq is selling most of it's oil to China now too.
So the American citzens gained nothing for that ''war'' did I say war I meant occupation.
The ''war'' was reallly about whose doller will rule the next century, the US Petro-dollar or the Chinese Yen.
The old rule was all the oil that china bought from the Saudis or anyone had to be traded in US Dollers.
However, they no longer do and have started trading exclusivly with thier money. While they take our debt and buy as much gold as they can to back their currency in a Gold Standard like ours. In a direct competion.
No offense but wake up ppl...Bottom line the NWO and Globalist are ruining this country in order to bring about WWIII versus China and Russia and USA. We all lose.... they win. As I type this it has already begun, the Us moved Marines to Northern Australia to block China's life line via the water ways of Indonesia. Are gov has a defense treaty with the S Korean. Likewise, China has defense treaty with the North.
Why would USA want to fight China, cause when the us Petro doller fails the doller fails...this whole war on terror was all about stripping patiriots of there rights and leading us into the fight to the death with chinna for global control...dont belive me ok whatch this..

first thing quietly done in the "war" and the true objective was to reopen the pipelines between Syria and saud.
sadam had shut them down and our owner(the king of saud)had his private army(the us army) handle his business...
