Per Imus, Obama has missed 80% of his votes in the Senate since September 1, 2007. In 2006, in Obama's first 11 months in the Senate, Obama missed close to 37% of his votes as a novice Senator while he began his run for President.

During this same time, in August of 2007, Biden voted against the Lieberman-Kyle Amendment on Iran (Obama didn't vote); In August of 2007 Biden stated he would fight to impeach Bush/Cheney if they took any military action against Iran,(Obama has been silent on impeachment); in September of 2007 Bush/Cheney began to talk of WWIII in Iran - Biden continued to publicly challenge them, (Obama remains silent); in October of 2007 Biden put forth his Resolution in the Senate getting 75 votes from Republicans and Democrats to end the war in Iraq (Obama didn't vote); in October and November of 2007 Biden lead the Senate Democrats against confirmation of the Attorney General for failing to define waterboarding as torture, (Obama didn't vote); In October and November of 2007, Biden has been on the phone with the President of Pakistan, Isreal, Iraq, and talking to world leaders who have quit talking to President Bush (Obama has not been contacted by world leaders but cites his experience as a child in foreign policy); in December of 2007 Biden has repeatedly called for impeachment of Bush/Cheney for military plans to attack Iran and for a Special Indepedent Counsel to investigate and bring criminal indictments against wrong doers for the destruction of the CIA tapes (Obama has been silent before other more experienced members of Congress).

Biden does what Joe says. Biden's words and Biden's deeds are consistent. Obama says one thing, but does nothing. Obama speaks empty words, but doesn't act when given the opportunity to do what only 100 people in America are priviledged to do in the US Senate - vote.

Biden is in international news. World leaders want him to be President. Biden has earned a reputation of trust gained from 35 years of experience.

A nice title and very descriptive of the conditions of today. Certainly representative of what most citizens are saying when they don't feel represented for either party. We have to wonder what law makers are actually doing

The Whitehouse is now tripping on their own underwear. Everything they say is being contradicted by previous statements or the truth that is getting accidentally exposed. What is worse is our intelligence has not improved at all. This is because is intelligence is concentrated with the CIA or Homeland security, the Military will no longer be on top. He who has the information has the power. When you have the Head of the NRO refusing to brief intelligence to what he's doing so information can be centralized, you have a very serious turf war in the middle of a very serious situation. The intelligence agencies do not control their budgets and are at the whim of the Military what has the final say over everything it does

Biden Wants Special Counsel To Probe Destruction Of Interrogation Tapes
WASHINGTON - Democratic Senator Joe Biden is calling for the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate the CIA's destruction of videotaped interrogations.

On ABC's "This Week," Biden says Michael Mukasey is the "same guy" who refused to classify waterboarding as torture. Biden says the matter of the CIA tapes would be better handled outside of the "political realm."

One may initially think that they did is proof of crimes against humanity.
On the other hand, the information was likely destroyed because it would implicate powerful elements of the US government and Bush neo-con regieme.

my email to Sen Rockefeller

so let"s see " you"re Chmn of the Intelligence committee and the CIA destroys tapes of its illegal activities and a few people " Goss, WH counsel etc "are angry about it" at the time.

Being in the Senate is a hobby for you " you clearly have gone far beyond your level of competence.

America has failed to prevail in its third major conflict since WW 2 " since a "professional" Army of suckers at the Government teat took over.

How many 3 and 4 star idiots does it take to lose this thing? Our intelligence services have made one error after another and people like you just keep funding the f#&%ing war.

You can"t even manage your own web site " Intelligence isn"t even a subject for comments " that"s the committee you"ve been on for some time " remember?

which is worse, the crime or the coverup?

well, the crime, for without that there is no desire to cover it up.

"The tapes posed a serious security risk," Hayden wrote. "Were they ever to leak, they would permit identification of your CIA colleagues who had served in the program, exposing them and their families to retaliation from al-Qaida and its sympathizers."

Valerie Plame still has her head, no thanks to Cheney and co.

Outing a CIA agent is a felony and treason... no way around it. Unless you are the VEEP.

Wow at least someone was paying attention to history. I bet Nixon gave a big "doough" from beyond.

Committing the crime of obstruction of justice is not a cover up it is a felony.

Why didn't they just stick them in their pants? That seems to be a perfectly acceptable place to store classified documents for most the pervert defenders reading these posts.

You Libs were all pissed when a non-covert desk jockey was "outed" and yet you have no problem releasing tapes and exposing actual covert agents to the public.

I guess when it helps your side, it's OK.

"The tapes posed a serious security risk," Hayden wrote. "Were they ever to leak, they would permit identification of your CIA colleagues who had served in the program, exposing them and their families to retaliation from al-Qaida and its sympathizers."

Same old stuff... if you don't agree you're a "sympathizer" of al-Qaida.

I believe the destruction of evidence is a crime called Obstruction of Justice. Crime after crime and crime begets more crime. When is someone going to tell thier boss to go to hell, and not follow criminal orders. In the military that is called dereliction of duty, anyone heard of it?
