Obama's white house has leaked national security secrets to improve his chances of re-election. Obama's attorney general Eric Holder has appointed two attorneys that report to him to investigate the leaks including one Obama donor with close personal ties to Eric Holder.


White House security leaks continue to fester as critics react to a flow of leaks from the White House that some believe are calculated to burnish the president's national security credentials at the expense of national security.




On Sunday, Rep. Peter King, R-New York, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, condemned the leaks on Fox News, insisting they could only have come directly from the White House.

"This is the most shameful cascade of leaks I've ever heard or seen in government," King said. "It's clear from those stories this came right from the White House, came right from the National Security Council, came right from the Situation Room. ... It has to lead to people very high up in the administration in his White House."

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., went on CNN on Sunday andcalled for a special prosecutor, arguing that Attorney General Eric Holder has no credibility with Congress.

McCain described the leaks as the "most egregious breach of intelligence in anybody's memory." Pointing to ongoing congressional frustration with Holder's lack of coopertion on the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal, McCain insisted that Holder's low credibility with Congress prevented him from leading the leaks investigation. "This needs a special counsel, someone entirely independent of the Justice Department," McCain said.

    So let me get this straight...Obama's attorney general has sided with Puerto Rican terrorists, has sided with the black panthers, has sided with Mexican drug cartels and has obstructed investigations by congress into his actions will now appoint an Obama donor to investigate Obama?

    Gee, I wonder how this is going to turn out.

    The question is not fair in the manner it is asked. The better question should be why is government so hopelessly partisan that every issue now has a split vote, with nothing accomplished. Years ago, parties came together on crucial issues of national secuity for the common good. We need some real leaders in Congress, not fools with a limited agenda that cant see beyond their next election.

    If he has nothing to hide. But what happens if they summon a subpoena, that orders him to hand over the White House tapes? Then he can get on public television and say "I want to make that perfectly clear, I am not a crook." Maybe Snooki's big boobs can save him.

    The New York Times said to the White House. That they were going to write the story and no. One there even told them not to do it.! this is going to jeopardize our national security further because no one will trust America any more. We won't be able to have operatives in strategic places covertly getting information to protect us against our enemies because the informants won't trust us and will be afraid. Look what happened to that doctor serving 33 years in prison !

    The very nature of an administration investigating itself is problematic, so problematic a child in the first grade could tell you it is beyond the pale to even suggest it.

    The fact that it is not only being suggested, but is what is happening should outrage every American. When you consider that AG Holder is going to be held in contempt of Congress in the next couple of weeks, and his DOJ is going to investigate leaks within the Obama Administration is the height of hubris.

    there should be no investigation until someone is in prison or jail I don't care if it's obama or who it is once they are in prison or jail then let the investigation start.This will only be another slap in the face of every American if holder and friends do the investigating.

    If any if us were suspected of leaking national security secrets, do you think we would be allowed to investigate ourselves? Hell no.

    If someone in the White House leaked government secrets, an independent investigation needs to be done and I would think as President Obama would welcome this, considering he promised a "transparent" administration.

    Please don't forget handing the Middle East to our Islamic enemies and refusing the Keystone Pipeline (to help his new nest buddy Warren) and seeing to it that the EPA killed the American coal/electric industry with insane regulations and stopping exploration and harvesting oil in the Gulf while giving billions to Venezuela to explore for and harvest oil and promising America would buy their oil and, and, and, IMPEACHMENT; THROW OUT EVERY FECKLESS CONGRESSMAN UP FOR REELECTION, WHETHER REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. THIS REALLY WILL BE OUR LAST CHANCE TO REVERSE OBUNGLE'S HANDIWORK, THROW THE BUMS OUT, AND MAYBE SAVE THE UNITED STATES FOR UNITED STATES CITIZENS.

    YES DID YOU SEE THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT EGYPT? Obama got his wish! The Muslim Brotherhood is in control and there is another Islamic nation like Iran now

    If Obama would be a Leader and stand up for the nation Security of our Country and help our Allies we would not have been in this mess.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh JUST WAIT UNTIL AFTER NOVEMBER IF OBAMA WINS Remember the Open Mike issue with Russia? Obama said He would have more flexibility then but could not tell the American People before the election what He will do.

    MMMMmmm WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE OBAMA PLANS ON SELLING US ALL OUT

    Well maybe the fact that Obama didn't close Gitmo like he said he would do, could be a great place for Holder to spend the rest of his days! As a matter of fact, check out the profiles of his appointed Czars and Supreme Court appointees also. A group of terrorist large enough to keep Gitmo thriving for decades.

    You do realize most of the leaks do not help Obama's image at all?

    He was supposed to be a humanitarian President with more compassion than most, then we find out he personally oversees a kill list which rains hell from above on anyone he gives the kill order on and then he redefines what a 'civilian' is around a drone attack.

    Yeah they really just polish up Obama's record, that human rights consideration is just perfect for puckering up to his Democrat voters...

    Are you seriously that far up FOXs backside that you just take in whatever conspiracy they put out there without looking yourself at what the info coming out actually is?

    Don't you realize the most independents want a President with a strong foreign policy who is not afraid to smack other countries around if necessary?

    Obama has no problem on his far left; they would vote for him no matter what he does. He has to shore up the middle-of-the-road group, the independents, and to do that, he has to look tough.
