(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain continued his blitz against the Obama administration Sunday, saying the president was responsible for the recent national security leaks--whether he knew about them or not.

"It's obvious on its face that this information came from individuals who are in the administration," McCain said on CNN's "State of the Union." "The president may not have done it himself, but the president certainly is responsible as commander in chief."

His comments came after the president himself forcefully dismissed the idea on Friday that the leaks came as a form of political strategy for the White House - a claim made by some Republicans on Capitol Hill, including McCain.

Every now and then McStain has a moment of clarity.

"The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive, it's wrong, and people, I think, need to have a better sense of how I approach this office and how the people around me approach this office," Obama said.

‘The Buck Don’t Stop Here’...unless it benefits Obama.

Remember the Navy Seals Team 6....................how did their names get out?

John John Jose’s only significance anymore is the embarrassment he caused so many by voting for him. Shut up now John John Jose!

It was Comrade Maobama who released the name of the Pakistani doctor who confirmed Osama in the compound. The doctor, after being identified by Obama, is now serving a 33-year prison sentence.

John is like a dead body that Obama just walks over on his way to any where he wants to go. John has made himself irrelevant a long time ago.

John is responsible for 0 therefore.....

Exactly, the sorry bastards give them up to make nice to the muzzies after they whacked OBL.

[NE Cons]

I totally agree

Look McCain, why didn’t you pull out the stops four years ago?

"The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive, it's wrong,

Yes, it is offensive and it is wrong. However, Mr. President you have yet to deny it. That statement is not a denial but a statement we all agree on.

Hey John, here's a clue: this whole business of leaking to the NYSlimes was something Axelrod and Zero cooked up as part of their reelection strategy. Hence, Zero either approved the leaks himself, or very possibly, was the actual leaker.

No wonder they've got Holder in there now. They'll cook up some story and blame some low level national security council staffer. Everything and anything to protect the idiot Zero.

The Death of a Thousand cuts—starts—or maybe a better term would be the death by a thousand leaks. This is the de-constructing of Obama and his crew. Watch, he will be exposed as what he is—a weak ward healer who managed to get into the White House on an Affirmative Action bid. It was a job he wasn’t qualified for.

“It is not a leak if the Pres__ent leaks it.” will be the official excuse. Nothing to see here, move along.

Ask Scooter Libby

And Lewis "Scooter" Libby didn't get anyone killed either.

BHO doesn’t understand the concept of “responsibility”. Especially when applied to himself.

Blame, when directed at others, that he understands.

LOL!!

"The president may not have done it himself, but the president certainly is responsible as commander in chief."

That only means something if, "The buck stops here", doesn't require $ in front of "the buck". Obama's is a child and only men take responsibility for their positions.

I'll bet that Pakistani Dr. is already dead. You are right, some in the regime run media are already saying that.
