Thanks Joan for posting this...The Centrist thing of Obama's was inevitable, it seems, as he panders to the sheeple.
WASHINGTON -- Former White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove won't testify next week before a House committee investigating the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman, despite a threat of a contempt proceeding.

Rove is exerting executive privilege and declined the invitation to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, his attorney Robert Luskin wrote to the House panel Tuesday. A lawsuit is pending in federal court in Washington over whether top White House officials can be compelled to testify before Congress, he wrote.

The Judiciary Committee has been seeking Rove's testimony since April, and committee Chairman Rep. John Con-
yers, D-Mich., said in a response letter sent Thursday that he was "disappointed" with Rove's decision.
It seems Conyers has lost his balls somewhere...won't Impeach, when it's the only thing to stop Cheney/Bush, and

I have been a big Obama supporter, but I too have been unhappy with his trying to walk the middle-of-the-road here. But what choice do we have at this point? McCain?????

Oh, Izzy, here we go again back to the "lesser of 2 evils" vote...Crikey, this was supposed to be different --a new kinda politician, all honest and shiny and pure and such...Hah! It's just business as usual and has been ever since the Dem leadership shunned Kucinich in thew early debates. Same old crap. Obama, as I've said all along, is no different than the rest of the Dems--corporate sell-outs and not anything close to having the integrity of a man like Dennis Kucinich, who is STILL fighting for impeachment of Cheney and Bush before they get us into WW3.

If Obama isn't careful, he'll lose some of his doubtful supporters and "benefit of the doubt" people like me who may just become so disgusted and not vote. I'll end up voting, just because I despise McCain but I'll be holding my nose--hard!
