Why is Obama following Bush's lead on state secrets?The answer, I'm beginning to honestly believe now, is that like Bush, for whatever reason he believes he has no other choice.
As Zandardad would be the first to say, "You always have a choice." That leaves the revised statement, "For whatever reason he is not willing to accept the consequences of what his other choices would be." He IS willing to suffer the valid criticism that what he is doing appears to be wrong, if not worse than what Bush did on this subject.
Or, as James Brown said it best, "Payin' the cost to be the boss." So the REAL question is not "Why is Obama following Bush's lead on state secrets" but "Why is Obama so clearly doing the wrong thing here when he has demonstrated time and time again he is willing and able to do the right thing?"
And that is something I just don't have enough information to answer.
