Part of being president is theres so much beneath you that you cant know because the government is so vast, - David Axelrod
Bush, according to the left, never had that excuse to fall back on.
Guess Bush was a better man than Obama ever could be.
Not really. The average person remembers Bush, Rumsfeld, especially Wolfowitz, and most of all, the vile Machiavellian Cheney, as the evil minions of the puppet masters that they are.
Most would like to see them prosecuted at the ICC in The Hague for war crimes. Should they? Well, probably. But, since we aren't a party to the ICC, and since they would have to tell why they did what they did, and who else, behind the scenes was involved in coming to the decisions that were made this would bring in actors and names at the CFR and The Royal Institute of International Affairs. What a god awful mess that would be.
Let's face it, in a situation like that, it is like asking criminals to turn themselves in for murder. That's not going to happen.
And as this drags out, people will have the same sour taste in their mouths of this current bunch of actors as well. Why do you think they cut loose Rahm Emanuel so soon? A man like that was nothing but trouble. He served his Machiavellian purpose early on, he got the president entrenched and took care of enemies early on, got the POTUS his first one hundred day agenda pushed through, and then he was gone, so he wouldn't tarnish the anointed one's image before the next campaign.
But this cast of characters? Holder, Napolitano, Clinton, and Rice?

You've got to be kidding me.

No, Americans aren't idiots. Their view of this administration won't be any better than the last. The only thing you are proving here is that you are rabidly partisan, or blind to reality.
The real loser in this smear/distraction campaign is the American people. The fact is, the highest office in the land, the powerful men in office willfully break the law, be they conservative or liberal, Republican, or Democrat, and are never actually held to account. And the media will make a circus of it. All to distract Americans from the fact that international bankers are destroying their currency and purchasing power to prop. up their investments while the national security state prepares to interfere in another sovereign nation's internal affairs.
It's all a show, and you just have to root for one of the players instead of realizing that the game is rigged. Did you like that "pro-wrestling" when you were younger?
