That interview is from 2007,before he took office.It always is a different story once you are in the BIG chair .I think the guy has been a hypocrite from day one ,I am just sorry I voted for him.
Executive Privilege is a personal privilege of the President and the Whitehouse. bush used it based on questions of actions of the whitehouse
It does not apply to those around him, which, having been invoked, places Obama square in the middle of this.
so are YOU saying that Obama is squarely involved in the middle of this, and directed holder to lie in front of congress???
Wrong FIVE bush aides/advisors used it to prevent testimony or documents being provided to Congress. FIVE.
And then used a State Secrets law to prevent a whistleblower from revealing the treasonous aides/asst. cabinet officials from being exposed as double agents to Turkey and Pakistan.

And what did the Dem Congress do about that ?
Nothing, that's what. Pelosi never brought that charge of contempt on Rove up for a vote. She let it sit there and did nothing.
The 3 branches of government are checks and balances. They have the power to keep each other in line. They are not doing their jobs IMO.
We arent talking about Karl Rove. We are talking about Eric Holder. Maybe you should go back out on the green with Obama. Both of you are better off there than anywhere else.

In particular, this is what SCOTUS ruled in Espy about who get Executive Privelege
the privilege should apply only to communications authored or solicited and received by those members of an immediate White House advisor’s staff who have broad and significant responsibility for investigation and formulating the advice to be given the President on the particular matter to which the communications relate. Only communications at that level are close enough to the President to be revelatory of his deliberations or to pose a risk to the candor of his advisers.
Workingclasshero get's his legal advice from Hannity.....LOL

Different contexts.
If you look at the 6 Bush Executive Privileges there were specific reasons given as to why releasing the information would be a breach against the executive branch and their right to get advice from people in secret and there weren't any alleged crimes. Perhaps Democrats thought something improper happened with the advice, but not illegal. One of the six was actually to protect Janet Reno (Bill Clinton's former AG) so of course the Democrats didn't pursue that one.
Here we have over 200 people DEAD and the man who promised to be the most transparent president ever is stonewalling it.
So finding out the truth about a government program that KILLED a Border Patrol agent is a witch hunt? Is this the new race card? The level that liberals will stoop to defend the piece of crap in the WH is astounding.
Justice for Trayvon, but none for Brian Terry. Truly, skewed priorities.........
