Yes, it is true.
While there is much with which to disagree with concerning Obama's policies, there is at least one area in which Obama is showing some good common sense in agreeing with former President Bush. President Obama's administration is invoking the notion of state secrets in not wanting to allow the discussion of government torture of detainees. What? So, can we now HOPE the CHANGE the nation voted for has the AUDACITY to continue President Bush's policies?
YES, WE CAN!
Don't believe it? Here it is:

I say Obama is an amazing man willing to lie to anyone about anything. This proves it. Why didn't Obama have the courage to admit President Bush was right about this before the election? He is adopting Bush's policy. Obviously, he agrees. What a guy!
What do you say?

hi red....that reminds me of when george h bush was president and they made fun of him because of family values. but then when clinton came into office then he promoted family values and it was cool and well received.

The press does judge Republicans by a higher standard than they do Democrats.

There is a school of thought that says a politicians needs to say what ever he or she has to say to get elected, then after that do what ever he or she needs to do to run the country. Truly Machavallian in nature, or just simply Obama grew up before our eyes. I for one believe in the former opposed to the latter.

I'm of that school that says 0bama is a liar. True, he is an affable, outgoing, personable liar, but still a liar.

I think it's rather easy to criticize on the outside. I think his beliefs changed when he actually won the election and was truly privy to all the evil directed at the United States and Americans everywhere. I believe that's the difference.

I certainly hope you are correct and that we can see more of the same from Obama.
