Obama on Oil for Dude Program: "What Did He Know and When Did He Know It?"

About the Oil for Dude Program releasing that Lockerbie terrorist? 

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough:  "This is just one of those stories that smells from the very beginning. They set up that Scottish guy to hold the press conference, like he's going to release the biggest terrorist this side of al Qaeda? . . . No! You knew the British government was attached. We predicted it last week; it's come true. Then that raises the next question: what's the link between Great Britain's government and the U.S. government? Anybody that works in Washington for more than a day knows the British government is not going to release a terrorist that killed American kids without getting the OK from the American government. Because of that celebration, this is the end of Gordon Brown's government; there's no surviving this, is there? This is the last straw."

Pat Buchanan:  "I don't think there is any surviving: this guy is just holding on . . . My guess is this thing went up the food chain at State and went up the food chain through the NSC."

Joe Scarborough:  "If this did not end up at the White House, Mike Barnicle, I would be shocked."
