But Obama also "recognizes the need for the justice department to investigate alleged criminal activity without undue influence," Carney said.Any negative reporting on the Regime is a State crime.

F. Chuck Todd handed Jay Carney his ass yesterday on the topic.
Pointing out Obama was for it as a senator, before he was against it as President, vetoing the bill.

To understand the mind of Obama and Hillary, you should understand the mind of a Borderline Personality Disorder sociopath. These 3 principles are ingrained in their minds: 1. I’m a victim, so revenge is necessary; 2. It’s never my fault; it’s everyone else who is wrong; 3. Don’t trust anybody, so I must control and manipulate others.
