Obama Flip Flops and Gets it Right; Puts Americans First!

In a sharp reversal, the White House announced Wednesday the administration will not release hundreds of photos potentially showing U.S. military personnel abusing prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Finally recognizing what many of us already know, Obama has decised not to throw gasoline on the fires of anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world.

Of course, his bff's at the ACLU responded immediately:

"The Obama administration's adoption of the stonewalling tactics and opaque policies of the Bush administration flies in the face of the president's stated desire to restore the rule of law, to revive our moral standing in the world and to lead a transparent government," Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU, said in a statement.

"If the Obama administration continues down this path, it will betray not only its promises to the American people, but its commitment to this nation's most fundamental principles," he continued. "President Obama has said we should turn the page, but we cannot do that until we fully learn how this nation veered down the path of criminality and immorality, who allowed that to happen and whose lives were mutilated as a result.

Putting the interests of America and Americans ahead of the haters in the ACLU is the right thing to do. Maybe reality is setting in for Obama.
