Obama slates "deplorable action" by WikiLeaks

US President Barack Obama called Turkey's prime minister and Mexico's president on Saturday to discuss the "deplorable action" by WikiLeaks, and said the cable releases should not harm bilateral ties.

Isn't Obama the chap who made a big fuss about government transparency?

*edit*

So it's okay for American diplomats to talk **** about whomever they wish, provided no one dares expose them?

 

[LazyLion]

um, yeah... I think he has been saying that for about three weeks now. Is this breaking news?

"an effort to soothe ruffled feathers in Turkey" lol

"an effort to soothe ruffled feathers in Turkey" lol

Damn you beat me I thought that line was awesome.

It's like that post verdict interview with Glen Aglinotti and one of the journos asked him if he was supporting Movember. His reply is that he didn't know this "Mr. Movember".

The pre-presidential Obama would have piped a different tune. Once you enter that Oval Office, though, you discover very quickly that your ass is owned.

Exactly this. The president is just for show.

Unfortuantely I have to agree with this sentiment, especially now with the Republicans back in.

I think don't the American government is in any position to speak about 'deplorable'.

Obama

Well, at least he is starting too show his true colours. He is just another American president. I thought that America would actually improve with him at the helm, but he plays the same old game as all the other spineless presidents before him

Obama was so yesterday's man

The pre-presidential Obama would have piped a different tune. Once you enter that Oval Office, though, you discover very quickly that your ass is owned.

Or it could be pre-presidential Obama would say anything to appeal to his base to get elected. Now he actually has the responsibility of office.
