Oh, I get it, so Washington D.C. is totally innocent? yeah right! Shut it, Pat! Obama's whole administration is built on doing exactly what they are doing. Why keep on Gates? He could of appointed someone with no spine that would quiver at the threat of Obama the Peace Prize holder. American politics is so backwards it is comical. I wonder if the Roman Empire was a similar laughing stock near the end?
