One of my main grievances against Barack Obama is his deliberate failure to appoint an Attorney General who would aggressively investigate and prosecute every member of the Bush Administration who was in any way responsible for the ruin of this Nation's economy and its reputation in the world.
Many lies were told to facilitate the illegal invasion of Iraq. 5,800 American troops died as the result of those lies and thousands more were maimed and/or disfigured. And there is the matter of the torturing, quite often of presumed innocents. The kind of hatred engendered by those actions is certain to inspire a continuum of terrorist attacks on us in the future or to transform the U.S. into a virtual police state to prevent them. Yet Bush, and Cheney, and Rumsfeld, and Tenet, and Rice, and Gonzales, and Addington, and Yoo, and others have all walked away smirking. And the unmistakable evidence of Executive impunity which Obama has conferred on them has established a precedent which guarantees the same kind of arrogant disregard for law and morality by future administrations.
It is truly sad that the only alternative to Obama is Romney. Because the choice we've been given is comparable to choosing between gonorrhea and syphilis.
I really wish people like you would get over this shit. If we prosecuted every ex-President because we didn't like their policies, who the fuck would ever want to be President? After every President left office, there would be calls to prosecute them from the other side. Do you think that if GW was prosecuted that Obama would not be next after he left office once the Republicans won the White House next? Hell there are idiots on the right just like you who would like to see Obama impeached and imprisoned just because they hate him so much.
Nutjobs to the right of me; nutjobs to the left. It's amazing how supposedly intelligent people can be so dumb.
