    Obama backflip

    Obama has had his first National Security meeting, it was fully expected that 'some things would change'. I remind, there are some 38 levels of 'secrecy' that the President alone cannot view or action as Commander in Chief. Because, Presidents come and go, but - the nation is forever...
