On Monday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate a series of recent leaks that critics charge are designed to bolster the national security credentials of the Obama administration. ...
The recent leaks involve stories in The New York Times, Newsweek and the Associated Press that range from the hitherto undisclosed role of the United States in cyberattacks on Iran's nuclear facilities to details about the president's decision-making surrounding the selection of the targets of the CIA drone program in Pakistan and Yemen and the penetration by a spy of al Qaeda's Yemeni affiliate.
Have those leaks, as Romney claimed on Monday, "put American interests and our people in jeopardy"?

The GOP solution: Start a war with Iran (totally unfunded of course). Get the poor people to fight/die in the war while giving the rich people "no bid contracts". Then use Iran's oil to pay for the war. And when the war is over, Iran will sell us cheap oil. Just like in Iraq!!!!! Oh wait................never mind.
Ouch! I believe, the media do notice Two things, why someone would like to be the US President?
1) ...eager to serve his/her Country:
As elected President, you must expect something you never know and never heard of. Which is the new discovery, that as a President of US, you promised to keep the inside secrets, available only for US President. Breaking the promise will be spearing his/her life. Which could closed the case, immediately.
2)...just to be in the history book;
Oh, no! Big mistake. America never had like that before.

Rem:- when someone become President, he/she is always under surveillances. No more freedom as ordinarily people. You can not go anywhere you want at anytime. You are just like Prisoner for life, as well as your family.
In our age of modern technology, it's difficult to cover up what one has done, especially when there are other people involved. The media is very eager to be the first one to break the news.
GOP is in contempt of the President. Where is that law.
This is nothing but politics as usual. Obama will do anything to make himself look good!
Thank you, Marine5484. Well said.
