Obama's statement on Libby

"This decision to commute the sentence of a man who compromised our national security cements the legacy of an Administration characterized by a politics of cynicism and division, one that has consistently placed itself and its ideology above the law. This is exactly the kind of politics we must change so we can begin restoring the American people's faith in a government that puts the country's progress ahead of the bitter partisanship of recent years."

Oh Barack, Libby did no such thing. He was not convicted of outing a covert CIA agent. He was convicted of lying to a grand jury about a crime that did not happen. And if Plame was a covert agent, which has not been established definitively, the person who outed her was Richard Armitage and Spec. Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald knew this 3 months into his investigation. So far Armitage has not been charged with any crime and is free as a bird. And why did this tid-bit of info never make into the likes of the NY Times or Washington Post? Because if they printed it then they would not have a story to pound Bush with for 3 years.

Barack continues to speak in clichés looking for the perfect sound bite.
