Obama Shows Transparency . . . In His Motives

April 27, 2009

This week Daily Limerick will countdown to Barack Obama’s 100th day as President of the United States with a series of limericks about notable events that occurred since he has taken office.  Earlier this month Obama released top-secret memos detailing the CIA’s use of interrogation techniques on terrorist suspects.  With the memos becoming public, Obama stated he would not seek prosecution of the CIA officers and interrogators.  Later he rescinded this statement and remarked that any prosecution stemming from these memos would be decided by Attorney General Eric Holder.  It is unprecedented that a president would release his predecessor’s documents so quickly after taking office.  This move also coincides with recent foreign trips with veiled comments about “times where America has shown arrogance, even derisive” and the “new beginnings” of the Obama administration. 


Under Bush, torture prevented future attack
The release of memos has many taken aback
Did they violate the constitution?
Holder could opt for prosecution
The fact is, Obama stabbed President Bush in the back
