OTTAWA — The federal government's top civil servant has pledged to make public the results of an investigation into Canadian leaks that damaged the presidential campaign of U.S. Senator Barack Obama. Prime Minister Stephen Harper handed responsibility for an internal inquiry to Kevin Lynch, the Clerk of the Privy Council, after it emerged that his chief of staff, Ian Brodie, sparked the so-called "NAFTA-gate" affair in a conversation with reporters from CTV News.

Mr. Lynch pledged in a letter to Liberal MP Navdeep Bains that the results of the internal probe will be made public, and will include the "verbal" leaks - not only the later leak of a diplomatic memo. Mr. Bains said he is encouraged by the assurances, but added that Mr. Brodie and Michael Wilson, the ambassador to Washington, should still step aside until the probe is completed.

2. It's Just Another Example of Obama Telling Everybody What They Want to Hear Even if It's Not True.

Just like when he told the people he would have us out in 9 months, then changed that to 16 mos and Samantha Power speaking for him at the time says that Obama knows the 2012 is the best case scenario and even he knows it will take longer.

Hillary may have had a false memory born of a remembered fear but Obama is a false front worn by someone who is going to disappoint everyone -- the one true thing he has said and he said it in his own autobiography:

He said that he's a blank screen onto which anyone can project anything the want and as such he is bound to disappoint some people or possibly all of them.

I don't want a President who will disappoint us!
