Reply #56: How do you get from "if" to "hopes"....? [View All]

Never did I suggest Obama should face a challenger, nor do I really want one. I was pointing out that it is pretty clear to me, IF there were one, one area I think Obama would be very vulnerable would be that of human rights/constitutional issues. And since there is NOT a challenger, I think this is why Obama feels he can be so cavalier with his comments about a person breaking the law prior to adjudication. Which in my opinion, runs contrary to his supposed ideals, teachings and past.

But let me put it to you this way to illustrate his political expediency: have you ever heard him refer to ANY of his opponents as "breaking the law" prior to adjudication in their behavior?

Now, though some may say this is just a play on words, I could accept him making a statement such as, "the person was charged with a crime because it was believed he broke the law, however, we'll have to wait until the criminal justice system finally finds him as doing so."
