...the same stance taken by George Bush with one important difference, Obama makes the kids like it.
"This past weekend our Commander in Chief displayed some real presidential sac. I say Hail to the Beef .
He steered America out of dangerous waters and helped her escape some pretty unsavory characters.
No, not the pirates. I'm talking about the Bill of Rights lovers who keep humping the leg of habeas corpus...
You see, the president is fighting a federal court's ruling that the detainees at Afghanistan's Bagram Air Force
base have the right to habeas corpus, that they have the right to challenge their detention. But he's just following
the long-standing principle of American justice - Guilty until proven forgotten about. Now, this is essentially the
same stance taken by George Bush with one important difference, Obama makes the kids like it. Now, I don't
know why he's denying them habeas corpus, I can only assume the guys they've got detained over there did
something really unforgivable like remind Obama he was once a professor of constitutional law. That is cold."
-- Stephen Colbert,

5. The man is a genius
And after viewing the sheer balls he had to insult Bush and everyone present at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Bush not 30 ft from him, I guess we'll keep hearing from him when the people in power do stupid s***.
