Top intelligence post candidate withdraws after Liberals scream TORTURE!

The Miami Herald reports:

WASHINGTON -- A former senior U.S. intelligence official Tuesday withdrew from consideration for a top intelligence post in the new Obama administration amid protests from liberal groups linking him to the Bush administration's transfers of terrorism suspects to nations that torture prisoners and political opponents.

The move by John Brennan, a former senior CIA official and head of President-elect Barack Obama's intelligence transition team, is the first personnel setback to hit what's otherwise been a swift and smooth transition to the White House for Obama.

The "Mature" Guy Elected By The MSM

In more ways than one, Obama flipped America "the bird" nonstop during his candidacy. Thanks to coverage from the mainstream media-that would put the best PR firm to shame-and its "Kool-Aid" drinking voters, he will now become our president.

However sometimes Obama's "bird flipping" was literal and meant for particular individuals.....
