Intimidator in Chief: Obama and the CBO - WSJ.com

Intimidator in Chief: Obama and the CBO - WSJ.com: "As Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the Republican who ran CBO from 2003 to 2005, put it, “The only appearance could be that they’re leaning on him. CBO was created for Congress, for independent analysis. The White House did him [Elmendorf] a terrible disservice.”"
President Obama also displayed his bully tendencies last night when, after admitting he knew none of the facts of the case, weighed in on the side of Harvard professor Gates against a humble Cambridge police officer, loudly accused by Dr. Gates of racism. I don't know who's right and who's wrong in that case, but I am pretty sure the President of the United State has no business offering uninformed opinions on local matters on national TV.
