Things the President Knows that We Don't

There must be a lot, because Obama has again reversed himself on one of the positions he and other liberals have espoused for years - that President George W. Bush wrongly held enemy combatants without trial.

Obama has now reversed himself, saying he does have authority to do such a thing and will continue to hold about 50 detainees indefinitely without trial.

This on the heels of Obama deciding to keep troops in Iraq after saying for the entire campaign that he would get them out right away. This also follows Obama's stall tactics on Gitmo, when he once claimed that he would shut the facility down by August and it remains open as October approaches, with no change in sight.

The intelligence information the President receives every day gives him a unique view on the world. There must be a lot of scary stuff out there for Obama to have reversed himself on so many issues - and adopted the practices of the left's favorite bad guy.
