...and yet, we are still in Iraq with no fixed date of withdrawal date declared, yet veterans roam around streets, and yes, yet the STOP-LOSS order is incredibly still in place, and to top it all, he still refuses to bring to justice the torturers and liars who were responsible for thousands of deaths...

Those of you who voted for obama have no right to say anything now.

Bush may be a criminally accused, fat cat supporter who left New Orleans to ruins, but he, EVEN HE, did not lie with a smile.

He told the truth every single damn time to the people, and hey he DID bring Libya back into the fold of nations.

Plus he refused to comment on Obama's presidency stating that Obama needed every support he can get.

Apart from apologizing to everybody in sight, what HAS Obama done?

Has he forced Citi, BofA, and other large banks CEOs to quit?

Has he stopped the foreclosures by banks which are now owned by tax payers?

Has he opened up Bush's records on torture?

Has he stopped the no-warrant tapping of telephones by NSA?

Tell me what good Obama has done for you before you criticize Bush.

Am serious.

I don't understand. When Bush tried the state secrets approach people pounced on him and Keith Olbermann tore him apart in MSNBC.

Hell, even NY Times wrote scathing reports.

Yet when Obama does it, you all bow down and say hallelujah.

He's an establishment guy AND a lawyer: need i say more?

Write to your Republicans and ask them to start impeachment proceedings.

Salon's readers were amongst the MOST vociferous, ferocious, rabid supporters of Obama.

It was as if he would be the new Jesus and messiah anc once elected, everything bad will vanish.

Well, have you woken up you illiterate liberal morons?

Why are you all silent and quiet now?

Where is the outrage you showed at Bush?

You know what, you guys deserve this & more.

Obama has kept NONE of the promises he made: stopping foreclosures, stopping the War, stopping the TARP funds flowing more to banks, etc.

...and yet, you morons continue to support him like a Rock Star.

Hmmm..probably you haven't seen the videos of Abu Ghraib.

Probably you were sleeping when they showed pictures of abuse at Gimto.

Hell, probably you were one of the contractors who took part in it with a sadistic satisfaction.

On the same lines your right-wing-nut Bush said: "Either you oppose torture or you are against US."

The fact that Obama chose to "forgive and forget" law-breakers has sealed his defeat in 2012.

Gerald Ford did the same thing with Nixon: He was never seen again in a public office.

People have memories.

And they have looong memories for the crooks who break the law and escape on a technicality.

See how OJ was caught finally?

Obama just assured his party and himself that he is a one time wonder: His defeat in 2012 is assured.

All that the Republicans now have to do is to sit tight, and play nice to get a majority in 2010, enough to start impeachment.

I hope Obama is impeached, but i know he will be lose in 2012: his break of campaign promises puts even Nixon to shame.

If you do harbor a criminal you are as guilty as he is.

Same applies to Obama too.

You are an idealist.

You are a good man, but still an idealist.

You say bringing in nazis takes discussions out.

I say NO: why? Because Nazis tortured not only for information, but for fun.

If you have seen the movie Conspiracy (2001) and then the court drama: The Nuremberg Trials (black & white movie), you can see the cold blood nazis talking about frying the gonads of kids and a lawyer defending the architect of the Weimar constitution bringing in Oliver Wendell Holmes...

The Judge STILL convicted an ex-Judge of War Crimes for torture, even when his lawyer was brilliant enough to explode every single argument of the allied lawyers.

Why? Because USA stood for Law at that time.

Law, above all terror, Law above all else.

That is what defines and differentiates USA from all other countries.

Now, Obama has damaged USA reputation beyond Bush's wildest dreams.

Bush broke the law. Obama should have conducted an inquiry by FBI, got his sorry a$$ dragged to court and let the judge decide.

Even if Obama had failed to prove, the world and USA would have applauded him a lot.

Instead, he goes ahead and does a Gerlad Ford !

Well, we all know what happened to Ford's result in elections.

Same will happen to Obama's re-election in 2012: only this time it would be a 337 seat defeat for Obama.

And that means that all things being equal, the life and well being of an American citizen is supposed to be worth more to our government than the life of anyone else.

So, in violation of US laws, you are stating that the life of ONE human being is worth more than the other.

Tell me, do you still own slaves in your plantation?

Do you still fly the confederate flag atop your House?

Furthermore, tell me, when the Third Reich considered Germans to be above Jews and Poles, you considered it racism and fought against the Third Reich with a fury unseen ever before and ever since.

Above all, if every country were to consider her own citizens as above everyone else, you "liberate" them, or atleast try to. Saddam tortured his own people... blah blah...

So, you saying it is perfectly and absolutely okay for USA to consider its citizens above all other human beings, BUT no other country has the right to treat its own citizens above US citizens?

Wow!

You MUST be a Texan.
