Obama Walks Away From 9/11 Family Member Who Asks About Investigation of CIA Interrogators

Debra Burlingame, who lost her pilot brother on 9/11 when his plane crashed into the Pentagon, had a reportedly chilly exchange with President Barack Obama today. During a meeting with a select group of 9/11 families, Obama greeted Burlingame and even hugged her after a few pleasantries.
But when Burlingame asked about Eric Holder’s plan to file criminal charges against CIA interrogators, Obama’s friendly manner allegedly stiffened.
Burlingame asked Obama if he would voice his opinion to Holder on the matter of the investigation of the CIA interrogators. She said, “I know that as a former attorney … you can’t tell the AG what to do in an investigation, but these [the interrogators] are unsung heroes….and they have been exonerated in two justice department investigations. But that didn’t satisfy Eric Holder….Would you, in light of what’s happened, speak to him about standing them [the investigating prosecutors] down?”
Obama allegedly responded that Burlingame is right, that he cannot tell Holder how to conduct his investigation. Burlingame jumped in, saying, yes but “You can give him your opinion, will you do that?”
Obama said, “No I won’t.” And then he allegedly turned and walked away.
Burlingame suggested, “You can do it privately.”
Obama allegedly responded, “No.”
Burlingame describes all of this in the two clips below—the first from Fox, the second from Sean Hannity.
And here is a clip of Burlingame being interviewed on Hannity’s radio show:

It would be inappropriate for the President to interfere with a Justice Department investigation. The President is not above the law and he can’t tell prosecutors how to do their job.

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 7:01pmThe President most certainly CAN tell the AG what to do. He is the CHIEF Executive. All the Secretaries and Generals in the Cabinet serve at his pleasure and pursue the policies of HIS administration. He can fire them at will. It’s been done before.

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 8:44pmThat’s your prerogative.
Definition of TORTURE
1a : anguish of body or mind : agony b : something that causes agony or pain
2: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure
3: distortion or overrefinement of a meaning or an argument : straining
Examples of TORTURE
Waiting is just torture for me.
Listening to him can be torture
Identify the qualifier.
The qualifier is “for me” and “to him”.
This identifies torture as whatever that individual determines is torture for that individual, at that individual’s discretion.

SADOMASOCHISTIC in this case, because it damages our credibility and the credibility of the coerced confession. So it is self destructive.

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 8:59pm@SINISTA: HHHMMMM love the morally relativistic definition. Unfortunately, moral relativism is one of the main things that has gone drastically wrong with our country. You may believe me shining a bright light in your eyes is torture. Or, maybe just requiring you to fill out basic information (demographics) about you is torture. Or, maybe bringing your food a little too hot or maybe not hot enough is torture. Perhaps it is a little too cold or not cold enough. Your answer assumes I would know what YOUR definition of torture is. Since I don’t know what your definition is, I’ll use my own definition. As long as what I do does not cause permanent damage, I am not torturing you. Should the means I invoke cause permanent physical damage, then it is torture.

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 10:44pmIt isn’t a morally relativistic definition, it‘s directly out of Webster’s dictionary. I think we need to go back to definitions of words instead of letting politicians, the mainstream media, and special interest groups redefine words to their wishes, such as the words of the United States Constitution and abolishing “case law”.
“Your answer assumes I would know what YOUR definition of torture is.”
No, my answer doesn’t assume anything, my answer is THE definition of torture.
“Since I don’t know what your definition is, I’ll use my own definition. As long as what I do does not cause permanent damage, I am not torturing you. Should the means I invoke cause permanent physical damage, then it is torture.”
That’s where you run into a problem. You don’t get to define for me what torture is. It is my individual prerogative as defined by Webster’s dictionary.
“did you lose anyone in the 9/11 attack?”
As a matter of fact, I did; my uncle, and even if I didn’t, it doesn’t disqualify me from having an opinion on the matter.
“Have you ever fought for the freedom of our country?”
We haven’t been in a been in a battle for freedom in my lifetime, except this INFOWAR.

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 7:13pmPlease, ENCINOM, when you are in the presence of those with power to do what is right you take advantage of it and advocate for your cause. It’s not like she meets with him on a regular basis, or ever. The President is a political office holder, and if you think he wasn’t doing politics there yoy are deluded.

@every but you EncinoMonkey
I figured out Obamas character, he’s a puppet, a walking taking buffoon on his own and a puppet in front of a TelePrompTer. That’s why he keeps contradicting his word, because what his string masters want is very different than what he has previously stated. The more he acts the more I’m absolutely convinced that the CFR people are pulling his little strings.

Obama is politicizing this by his visit. Two years as president and when does he decide to visit Ground Zero?
We have a report today that information taken from the raid made note of a possible attack on our train transportation system. This information being thrown out just days after the raid. How do they know within just a few days if it is credible or not? Again politicization of the event. If you are going to get your undies in a bundle about politicizing the event a good group to take a serious look at is the Obama Administration. They are politicizing the event plunty. But Carney says, “We don’t spike the ball” in this situation and the president says, “That is not us”. PLEASE!!!

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 7:50pm“Obama said, “No I won’t.” And then he allegedly turned and walked away.”
She simply caught him off guard at what was supposed to be an informal gathering of fellow Americans, relieved that justice was done for the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
You see, before Obama can give a thorough response, he needs at least 16 hours to consult with Soros and Company to see whether or not it fits their plans for a global communism.

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 10:15pmObama allegedly responded that Burlingame is right, that he cannot tell Holder how to conduct his investigation. Burlingame jumped in, saying, yes but “You can give him your opinion, will you do that?”
Obama said, “No I won’t.” And then he allegedly turned and walked away.
——————-
This is typical Blaze BS. The Attorney General’s job is to tell the President of the United States what is legal and what is not. An AG working in their proper role is independent of the President. The President doesn’t tell the AG what is legal and what is not, the AG tells the President.
The person, almost certainly a lawyer, asked a legal question, not a conversational one. It was kind of a verbal trap, which Obama recognized was a legal question and responded to as a lawyer. President Obama was very clear: “I don’t tell the AG what is legal and what is not.”
When the President starts telling the AG what is legal or not, then the AG becomes an irrelevenat pawn, like during the Bush adminstration.
Sorry boys, but the President doesn’t decide what the Executive Branch can legally do. That’s the job of the AG. You don’t know that, but the woman who asked the question does, and so does Obama.

He shouldn’t have sent out the crappy form-letter email to all of the “9/11 Families” if he didn’t want to interact with them. He could have just had some cardboard cut-outs made.

SHE injected politics? The whole thing was a campaign kickoff for the ‘Bamster and was nothing BUT politics. It’s his FIRST visit to Ground Zero, and while he was denigrating those wanting to see the pics of the killed OBL as “spiking the football”, he was using Ground Zero to do an end zone dance.
