WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama calls it "offensive" and "wrong" to claim his White House deliberately leaked classified information for political gain.

The president says his administration has "zero tolerance" for the leaking of sensitive information. He says he has sought investigations in the past and will continue to order them.

Then he shouldn’t have a problem with an investigation.

How many of these leaks cast Obama or his Administration in a negative light or in any event, were not favorable to him?

Zero. What a coincidence.

Obozo states that the claim the WH is leaking sensitive information is offensive and wrong, not because the claim does not have merit, but because it is damning of his administration. Obozo must go in November. The damage to this nation is on a tipping point right now. Four more years of Obozo and the country will not recover.

There was a thread earlier on how to spot a sociopath, his answer fits the description. He expresses no concern about the leak, just anger at the question. LIAR

Because they don’t want the public to put two and two together regarding security leaks and their association with CAIR and the Moslem Brotherhood.

The leaks are just another failed attempt to make Tweetie-Bam appear as a manly-man instead of his real persona as a girly-man.

The MAN who got Osama!

The MAN who personally chooses the targets on an Al Qaeda kill list!

The MAN who initiated and carried out the cyber attacks on Iran!

What a loser!

I agree.

But I would go a step further and label them treasonous."
Given the track record of this unamerican totalitarian bent regime, I don't doubt for a second that the administration is in fact guilty.

Their constant denial of unconstitutional and criminal acts speaks for itself. Their "white-is-black" statements have gone from arrogant to comical. Who believes any statement that comes out of the White House any more?

An independent Special Prosecutor should be able to prove it for you, Barry.

Well then, Mr. President, if it’s so offensive, appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate this and clear the air and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice. Oh.... never mind.... I forgot; you’re the guy who can’t even produce a birth certificate.

Sometimes the best way to lie is to tell the truth:

“The notion that my White House would purposely release classified national security information is offensive. It’s wrong,”

If you take the meaning to be that the ALLEGATIONS are offensive, that is one meaning and it’s a statement that suggests they didn’t do such a thing. It IS wrong and offensive to leak classified data, yes indeed, and if you take THAT meaning, they DID leak the info knowing it was wrong. This is a twisted statement worthy of the Clinton stamp of approval.

Wait- MY White House?

There is still time for Obama to claim that the leaks originated from a conservative plant in order to smear him.

We should not be surprised when a malignant sociopath says telling the truth about his rule is ‘offensive’. When someone calls Leaky Leahy treacherous, the democrats howl that it is offensive to call a treacehrous leaker ‘unAmerican’. well, using classified intel to empower your political lusts IS unAmerican treachery, and I would go further to call it treason. But there isn’t enough rope ...

When you get a guy that’s this thin-skinned, just keep needling him. He’ll lose it.
