If Obama was to wait til his second term to begin prosecuting the Bush crimes, the backlash would still be huge. The republicans would scream bloody murder that Obama was rehashing "ancient history". The media would jump all over him for that too. It just disgusts me that Obama is such a coward, that he won't pursue criminal prosecutions for what these criminals did. As Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks said so elogently recently, we can't move forward with out Justice. We must have justice. These crimes can not go unpunished. They can't be allowed to stand. Because if we allow them to go unpunsihed, then there will be nothing to stop the next dictator that gets elected president. If America is to stand for anything, it has to stand for the rule of law and that no one is above that.
