Obama is a con artist put in place by the ruling class to divert attention from the conning of the American people during the coming depression.  His great virtue is that he looks and sounds good on TV, and so can promote Continuity with the Bushite counter revolution until the population notices that he is continuing Bushite policies. Then he has the militarized police and Homeland Security to fall back on. 

That is the simple truth of the matter.  Which will never be told in the mainstream media.

Exactly so.

It very well could be my youthful naiveté, but I’m still open to the possibility that some good can come from this. Folktruther, what you say is far more likely…unfortunately. Since Obama is continuing many of Bush’s policies, it would make sense that he would want to look forward.

How will we know, Russian Paul, that Rove is going to testify under penality of perjury if he is testifying in secret?

What is the point of testifying in secret, if the trascripts are going to be released publically, if not to suppress infomration not included in the transcipts?

The American power structure is completely corrupt, Conyers no less than Rove.  They are both looking forward with Obama, not backward at the political crimes.

From my understanding, Turd Blossom will testify in private BUT he will still be “under the penalty of perjury” which is the same thing as being under oath. And according to the below source at least, the transcripts will be made public.

Alejandro is quite right.  The American people are deluded largely by what the mass media, including the pseudo-progressive mass media, doesn’t say.  What the Truthdig piece didn’t say this time was that Rove, Miers, etc will testify IN SECRET, the reason they fouted the law in the first place.

And this is done at the behesst of the Obama admistration, which is continuing the Bushite counter revolution.  His press secratary stated publucally that Obama doens’t want to do anything to decrease the power of the presidency, illegitmately and illegally inflated by Bush.  So he essentially forced Congress to settle their law case.  In a scenario that not only involves the firing of 9 Dem attorney generals for political reasons, but the imprisonment of the former Dem Gov of Georgia.

you are not alone, Alejandro, but their aren’t many of us, and there won’t be until we can whittle down the size of the DUPES (Dems Under Presidential Enchantment.)

It’s Slap on the wrist time. But at least it is happening. Small victories are better than none.

His answers will be: “I don’t remember.”  “I don’t recall.”  “That was in a coversation with ...and it was privileged”.

Now, if only that harpy Pelosi will reach into her Louis Quatorze nightstand, open the period snuffbox, and liberate Conyers’ testicles!

Alas!  I fear that they have atrophied from disuse.

Still, the Amerikan people may eventually get the Harshly Critical Report Without Repercussions it deserves.

Finally is as good a word as any I suppose. The fall out is really something…they knew this was gonna happen when the new Admin got in…

I don’t know why Karl Rove didn’t escape when he had a chance. Surely he knows there will be no Libby style ‘pardons’.
