Obama Ignores 7 Past CIA Directors, Backs Holder Instead

Weakening the Nuclear Arsenal? It isn't as if the regular military will be spared. Clinton gutted it as a centrist-Democrat. Obama is much further Left. And now he'll be sending a chill through the intelligence gathering community. Is Obama putting America at risk? The case could be made that he most certainly is. But not too worry, as long as he's around, we'll have great speeches to protect us from our enemies and make us friends around the world. The only problem is, how is that working for him so far? Not very well, I'm afraid. Not well at all.

President Obama made clear Sunday he has no plans to overrule Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to open an investigation into whether CIA agents under the Bush administration crossed the legal line while interrogating terror suspects.

Obama gave Holder leeway to investigate even after seven former CIA directors wrote Obama a letter urging him to stop the probe.

"I appreciate the former CIA directors wanting to look out for an institution that they helped to build. But I continue to believe that nobody is above the law," Obama said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "I want to make sure that as president of the United States that I'm not asserting in some way that my decisions overrule the decisions of prosecutors who are there to uphold the law."

I am seduced to certainty by the grand delusion of personal rule over a fantastic utopian world of vast, endless acolytes waiting on me, to do my bidding, where there are no enemies, no white people, the rich sell all that they have and give the money to me, the affluent and poor sell all that they have and give the money to me and darks if I want them to have any, no weapons, no opposition, no old people, no limit to my personal accumulation, everything I want is given even before I summon it, the world at peace, unable to fight for lack of will and weapons. No more need to sell my self, my ideas, everyone just worships and does it. It is a place of beauty, I see it clearly, understand it totally and believe it absolutely because I am it. It is me, me, my goodness and brilliance covering the face of the world, my world, my face, my voice, my words, my body, my wishes. It is SO beautiful! I love it and so does everyone, or they won't live in it. A place of supreme rest and leisure, and I rule it. It is my benevolence for all the world to wonder and appreciate and thank. It looks to me, to me alone for sustenance and guidance. I am making the fantastic utopia of my dreams your destiny and you will kiss my ass and thank me for being so good for you and good to you. It's a beautiful world! Get used to it, deal with it, or it will deal with you. Capiche? Isn't it a wonderful world?!? I love it so!

"But I continue to believe that nobody is above the law," Obama said.
