Executive Privilege

Wow!  It must be tough for staffers in the Obama Administration trying to constantly determine where their boss will at next on issues.

Just a few years ago, when Obama was a Senator, he was against Executive Privilege...now he is for it.  But for what exactly?

How is it a guy, even a President, who wasn't involved or knowledgeable about Fast and Furious, need to invoke Executive Privilege?  The answer is simple...you either lied to us about knowing and/or approving a disastrous program or you didn't know and are now covering up mistakes of your underlings.  I am just old enough to remember the Iran-Contra hearings and the refrain from Watergate What did the President know and when did he know it?

Barak Obama had issues when he stepped into office, but this one is all his.  His leadership style has been as much like Jimmy Carter as the results, but now Obama finds himself aligning with Nixon too.
