On CBS’s “This Morning” on Tuesday, in an appearance promoting upcoming movie “The Raven,” actor John Cusack said that he was troubled by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, accusing them of continuing the “imperial presidency of the Bush administration with these claims to executive privilege.”

Cusack, whose politics are distinctly left-leaning, complained that the Obama administration was overstepping the boundaries of due process.
“I sort of feel like there’s some kind of Rubicon line issues that I hope are addressed that don’t have to do with left and right, and some of those issues that the Obama administration has with due process and with the assassination of American citizens — this speech by Eric Holder, I think, are deeply troubling. I think that’s beyond left and right.”

When a mental moron from Hollywood finally says something right, then perhaps there is some hope. He is spot on.

LOL @ "mental moron." He's rich and famous, and you're schlepping to a dead end job everyday. Yet, he's the moron.

In any case, yea...Cusack is right to a large degree.

Which is why i don't understand why the right wing keeps talking about how Obama is such a big 'ol liberal. I wish he was as liberal as they accuse him of being.

It is why, in 2008-2009, I called people who claimed Obama to be an extreme leftist what they have been proven to be: Fools.

And that would be pretty much a lot of these Hollywood types, and right wingers.

This.

By the love of GOD, this.

I'm hoping that his first run was just a trial run and he appeared moderate to get re-elected.
