Todd Beamer's Dad Wants To Know

|
Mr. Holder said that he and his boss had not spoken in person about this decision. This matter only involves upholding the constitutional rights of Americans, establishing a precedent with battlefield impact, and the safety and security of our citizens in a time of war. What are the criteria to make something a priority with President Barack Obama? How can it be that this matter didn't make the cut?

RTWT. But seriously: we all know that claim has to be a lie, but how could Obama & Holder think it would be a good defense?

Update: Mr. W. writes:
remember when Reagan was considered to be "disconnected" and "out of touch"?
Speaking of which, widely covered, but here just for the external hard drive's sake: Elizabeth Drew on Obama's insularity; David Gergen on his weakness; and David Broder catches on.
