I guess I'm just surprised that people who hate Bush finally have him out of the White House and they still can't let go. And whoever that ad belongs to is here.

I just wonder now that Obama is sending 4000 more troups into "Bush's war," if people feel the same about Obama? Now that Obama has tripled the deficit, is Bush the only one to blame?

If Obama has all these good intentions of "hope" and "change," and he's doing what Bush has been doing these past few years, then either both of them are the problem or neither of them. Maybe the problems aren't as simple as armchair politicians would like to think. Or perhaps the problems are simple but big government on the right and the left are in cahoots.

I do not hate the former President. For me it is not likely that people will "let go", and move on about it as Obama has stated he wants us to do. It is a matter of War Crimes. The US was instrumental in establishing the definition of War Crimes, and their prosecution. The Geneva Convention and it's articles were largely a part of a Global effort to make sure that heinous crimes were punishable by Global mandates and accordingly, prosecution. I feel sure you know all of this. That a former President and members of his admin have admitted participation in what has been defined Globally as war crimes is something that has to be addressed. The Laws of this country and our allies were broken. When Bush travels beyond U.S. soil he is subject to indictment as well. Canada refused to detain him on a recent visit, for obvious, and not so obvious reasons.

^edit there are a few things that Obama has done I am not to happy with. But in the first 60 days he has done an unprecedented amount of legislation. Most of it for the good imo. But the one one thing that seriously wrinkles me knickers is not holding to the constitution re: Bush. Obama put his hand on that Bible and swore to uphold our laws - hey so did Bush...and your right about [ right / left ]they are more similar than different. Politics. I will say though that I feel there is more of a deference now than in previous years... the Dems have a srong leader and the Rep's do not.

It's a bit like saying "my car left the garage all by itself and crashed into a car head-on at 90 kph"

while i would like to think obama IS that smart it certainly remains to be seen. hindsight is such a wonderful thing.

but liz greene made the point in her "outer planets" lectures, that a leader is a reflection of his times and the energies at work in his environment, city, state, national or global. if you want to know what those energies are, look to your own self and life and see what the dynamics are and your reactions to it. the astrological picture will impact different people in different ways but an elected leader tends to be a "handle" for the current zeitgeist, one way or another...

We should immediately insist the House of Representatives impeach and the Senate convict President Teleprompter's teleprompter for "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" against the United States.

And if we did try and make a list of those legally responsible next to Bush, we'd find a long list of Democrats.

I'd have to agree with jwhop on this. Bush Derangement Syndrome.

If I walked through my city streets a few years ago, there were plenty of "Impeach Bush" t-shirts. During elections an even now, I see paintings for sale of Obama standing next to MLK Jr. or Jesus. Now the God is just a man. I wonder if there will be an Impeach Obama website. Maybe I should start one.

Oh wait, I Googled and found one. I should email them and ask if they'd like to sponsor any websites. http://www.obamaimpeachment.org/

Those with BDS, Bush Derangement Syndrome don't want to hear or even know that there are those who know Woodrow Wilson..democrat, had about 75,000 US Citizens arrested and imprisoned for protesting his actions...a clear violation of the US Constitution. Bush arrests for those protesting Bush...0, zip, none, zilch.

And those same people don't want to know FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, democrat, is very strongly suspected of knowing about the attack on Pearl Harbor..having specific information..in advance and failed to notify US military commanders of the impending attacks.

Or...

That Bill Clinton, aka Kommander Korruption committed Treason against the United States by trading ballistic missile and nuclear weapons technology to China for illegal campaign contributions. All campaign contributions from foreign governments and foreign nationals are a violation of US law.

President Teleprompter is heading your way on Air Force One and a backup...with only 500 of his closest advisers, 200 security agents, chefs, his Armored Personnel Carrier, APC, and of course, President Teleprompter's teleprompter.

Gee, all that jet fuel expended. I sure hope President Teleprompter doesn't miss a perfect opportunity to talk to European heads of state and European citizens about the necessity of cutting back on fossil fuels to curtail man made global warming.
