Imagine if Hillary Clinton had been elected instead of Obama.
First off, Republicans impeached her husband in an attempt to destroy his presidency.
Then they ignored his warning about al Qaeda. Bill Clinton told Fox news he received landing rights to send in the military to take out Bin Laden after the Cole, but both the FBI and the CIA weren't convinced Bin Laden was behind that and wouldn't certify the police/military action.
Clinton warned the Bush administration and his warnings were ignored and to this day, Republicans try to blame 9/11 on Bill Clinton.
Bush and Cheney lied to the country. They flat out lied about "slam dunk, yellow cake, WMD's and so on". Bush only had to ask his father to know the truth.
Bush and Cheney's friends made billions off Iraq leaving the country a hard, right wing Islamic Theocracy. It's right in their constitution.
Republicans tried their best to smear both Clintons.
I have no doubt if Hillary had become President, Bush and Cheney and possibly Rice and Rumsfeld would have been brought up on charges of "treason" and "lies" that led to the deaths and maimings of tens of thousands of young Americans. And the investigation of the contracts and distribution of money to Bush and Cheney's friends. Especially the disappearance of 9 billion in 100 dollar bills loaded on dozens of pallets.
Obama understood that 8 years of Republican policies had left the country's economy devastated, the military broken, the Justice Department ruined. Our foreign policy was in shambles and the rest of the world saw us as more dangerous than Bin Laden or al Qaeda.
Obama wanted to get past that. He realized how we needed to heal the country. And I don't mean race relations. I mean "heal the country". Republicans had succeeded in redistributing the wealth of the nation to the top 5% and had convinced the entire Republican base that a plutocracy was the way to go. All that plus the other damage left the country in dire straights.
One wonders, if Obama knew what the Republicans were going to do to the country after he was elected, would he have followed a different path and pursued charges against Bush?
