The Pentagon has worried for months that a project backed by a prominent Democratic donor might interfere with military GPS. Now Congress wants to know if the White House pressured a general to change his testimony.
The four-star Air Force general who oversees Air Force Space Command walked into a highly secured room on Capitol Hill a week ago to give a classified briefing to lawmakers and staff, and dropped a surprise. Pressed by members, Gen. William Shelton said the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony to make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor.

If BarryO's backside ever got smaller, it would because D. Patricks face was separated from it. -

Obama is more and more likely to see a challenger within his own party soon. I just can't see the dem party leaders giving up on the WH and going down with the ship. Obama is one and done!! -

At the same time, Slick Willie and Hillie can't come across as the instigators of a PARTY internal war. -

El Rushbo just mentioned that no Dem is willing to dethrone the "First Black President"
Unless HE can be convinced that the Presidency is a waste of HIS time...below his talents.
We knew that from the beginning, didn't we?

good point, any Dem who goes against Bammy will be labeled as a racist, or deserter. I'd say the media will be the first to turn their backs, there is only so much they can support. Pretty soon the sponsors will start to drop their advertising $ from the networks, then you'll see the opinion polls plummet.
Hillary has the b-a-l-l-s, but she needs to have perfect timing on this, too early or late and she'll miss the mark. -

If Obama was smart, he would clean house and bring in some of Clinton's people. His White House is out of control. -

I give it to the general for having the cojones to tell the truth about Obamas arm twisting.
General.. do you feel the loooove?.. the Kumbaya? By the way.. how is your arm feeling?.. Better?
