No. 08- 51144 USA vs. CASTILLO
Dear Attorney General Holder:
Has Barack Obama abandoned the policies that made him different from former Democratic Party rival Hillary Rodham Clinton and turned into the very kind of politician he once campaigned against?
Could be. As the President continues to shift positions, his policies become more and more the policies of the status quo and not an agenda of change.
The Obama Justice Department will not charge the Bush Administration lawyers responsible for memos authorizing torture of prisoners but suggest instead the memo writers should face sanctions from their respective legal organizations.
The decision continues the White House’s reluctance to punish the previous administration for abuses of human rights and civil liberties.
Giant banks that received billions of dollars of taxpayer bailout funds financially backed the subprime lenders that brought down the economy and triggered the economic crisis that now grips America and the world.
Instead of being victims of a financial collapse, the banks actually created their own problems by promoting the risky mortgage market that plunged the nation into recession.
If you believe the Republicans, President Obama will announce a new Supreme Court nominee any day now.
The White House and fellow Democrats say no decision is near nor is any expected any time soon.
Such is the posturing that comes with Supreme Court nominees.
The House of Representatives turned down funding to allow President Barack Obama to close Gitmo, but Sen. Tom Harkin says there may be support in "the other body" to give the President what he wants.
