re: #20 The Ghost of a Flea

But Feinstein’s speculation wasn’t enough, was it? Romney’s team have been selling that Obama himself is responsible for the leaks, and that the leaks are dangerous to national security.

Romney: White House Leaks Endangered Lives

It will now become a right wing article of faith that Obama himself leaked the info, despite any facts to the contrary.

In Romney’s speech today he was pushing the “Obama is weak on national security” line hard. Every time he says this I get an image of Osama bin Laden with a bullet in his head, and the entire upper echelon of Al Qaeda wiped out by drone attacks.

Obama has been far more ruthless in going after Al Qaeda than Bush ever was.
