Re: Obama’s Torture Witch Hunt-Reaction of Gov. Romney

» by ODS Expositor in: Obama, Torture Witch Hunt

(Gov. Mitt Romney via Wikipedia)

Here’s Gov. Romney reacting to the Obama torture memo witch hunt in an interview with Hugh Hewitt. He reminds us of all the 2008 Campaign promises of Barack to cross party lines and heal Washington. A stark contrast to the partisan war that is starting up in response to the possibility of subjecting Bush admin. folks to prosecution and investigation:

HH: I want to start with the big news from yesterday, that President Obama has reopened the door, opened the door to the prosecution of former Bush administration officials in connection to the interrogation memos. What’s your reaction to that, Governor?

MR: Well, it’s a bad decision on a number of fronts. First of all, it violates his most consistent campaign pledge that he was going to work on a bipartisan basis in Washington. There’s nothing that could be more hostile than saying we’re going to go after the prior administration and see if we can make them all get lawyers and pay millions of dollars in legal fees, and drag them in for hearings, and see if we can really demonize the prior administration. That’s the lowest form of partisanship, and it’s something which I think the American people will recognize was very different than what they heard during the campaign. And secondly, these matters that are related to protecting our country from terrorism, you know, I think the Democrats are making a mistake by calling this into question. President Bush informed members of Congress as to the policies that were being pursued. There was a national emergency, America was kept safe during the Bush years. I think Barack Obama’s leading with his chin on this, because you know what? He’s got to keep this country safe.
