Hussein Obama Questioned About Memos and Interrogration

Obama says method was torture, no regrets on memos
Breitbart
Obama said Wednesday night that waterboarding authorized by former President George W. Bush was torture, and the information gained from terror suspects through its use could have been obtained by other means. “In some cases it may be harder,” he conceded at a White House news conference marking a whirlwind first 100 days in office.
Obama also said he was “absolutely convinced” he had acted correctly in banning waterboarding, an interrogation technique that simulates drowning, and approved making public the Bush administration memos detailing its use as well as other harsh methods used on terrorist suspects. “Not because there might not have been information that was yielded by these various detainees … but because we could have gotten this information in other ways, in ways that were consistent with our values, in ways that were consistent with who we are.”
Obama has come under heavy criticism from former Vice President Dick Cheney and other Republicans for his actions, who have questioned whether they have rendered the country less safe.
Cheney as well as some congressional Republicans have urged Obama to release memos they say will show waterboarding was successful in obtaining information. But the president, in a White House exchange with House Republican leader John Boehner last week, said the record was equivocal.
Obama told reporters he has read the documents Cheney and others are referring to.

Bits of other things he said:
Bloomberg
Barack Obama marked his 100th day in office by telling Americans that “we’ve begun the work of remaking America.”
The president, speaking at a town hall meeting in the St. Louis suburb of Arnold, Missouri, said that while the U.S. still faces challenges in recovering from a recession, the country is making progress.

“We have begun to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off,” Obama said. “I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made, but I’m not satisfied. I’m confident in the future, but I’m not content with the present.”

“The priorities that we’ve acted on are the things we said we would do during the campaign,” Obama said. “It’s not like anybody should be surprised.”

Answering questions from the audience, Obama repeated his stance that subjecting higher incomes to the Social Security payroll tax is the “best idea” for protecting the government retirement insurance system’s financial health. Making the wealthy “pay a little more payroll tax” is preferable to cutting Social Security benefits or raising the retirement age, Obama said.

Life Inside Gitmo

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Regarding his statments on the memo’s and interrogration.
I disagree with Obama on this in every day.
In fact the The mainstream media could report on the assaults that have occurred on our soldiers by the “terrorists” or the female doctor who had her face bashed into the bars of the cell when she was bending over to hear the prisoner better, requiring facial reconstruction. None of that gets reported!
Such as: from Gordon Cucullu’s new book “Inside Gitmo”

– A young female Navy medic who was asked to approach a detainee she had treated in the past. The man grabbed her head, smashed her face against the bars, and inflicted such damage that she has had 16 reconstructive plastic surgeries on her face.

– A female nurse who while treating a detainee in the hospital was punched so hard that it fractured her nose. The detainee then shouted that “this infidel whore’s blood has defiled me. Bring me fresh clothes!”

– Guards who have a noxious “cocktail” of feces, urine, semen, spit, and vomit flung into their faces and who then clean themselves, change into fresh uniforms, and resume their duties rather than let their buddies down by taking time off.

Maybe if every Lib in America should be forced to watch all of the beheading videos that have been posted. And then they should be told, if you want to complain about something being cruel complain about this.
His hubris is in the way of anything he does….because everything he does is for him, him, him. He understands nothing about being an American, because he clearly isn’t one…How about that birth certificate you cannot produce and the locked security of all of your college records…for all I know Obamasiah is working for the terrorists…should not surprise anyone.
Obama is the enemy, and the clear and present danger and I cannot wait until his four years are up and we can be rid of him forever!
