Obama's plans for probing Bush torture

President Bush could pardon officials involved in brutal interrogations -- but he may also face a sweeping investigation under the new president.

    Bush is a delinquent kid, a brat, who needs to finally be called out and disciplined.....

    Not as retribution nor vengefulness; not as vindictive nor dishonor. Not as hate nor proof nor righteousness...Not from any other spirit, than that the American people need an explanation from Bush.

    American's have walked around for eight years confused and frustrated. They have elected a new President now (Obama) out of demand for change in every aspect.

    It is out of respect for the American People and to protect and uplift the office of the President once again, that the Bush administration and its Justice department that enabled wrong doings, that this administration be cleaned up by investigating.

    It is not so much in the prosecution of all or some including the President, it is in so doing and revealing the wrong doings that they suffer humiliation and more important, the American people begin to heal...deeply injured and deeply in need to heal some wounds inflicted by this administration on the World.

    Or, like a bad kid, undisciplined, he perpetrates his out of control, destructive behavior and scams his legacy in lies for history. He should not have that privilege...not have a good legacy for he wasn't a good president...not at all.

    Americans must hail those wounds to help move us on, while we hail the election of our President Obama, for having the insight and desire to help us all heal who were at the effect of the George Bush Presidency...his negative effects globally as well.

    It is time to move on, but also to put things straight, clean up the Bush shambles he leaves behind and to restore the image, respect, honor to the office once again, albeit to refresh our land.

    George Bush has been an abomination and he should carry the baggage that he leaves behind that we hand him out the door to share our mire and despair due to his atrocities.

    A shameful person is Bush in my view...shame is what he brought to my soul as an American. I would like an apology from him to me, to the American people...to the world really...for the chaos he leaves us, as his legacy. May it be published in books and may the humiliation he laid on us, be laid where it belongs and follow him through his remaining years.

    Thank you. May God Bless President-Elect Obama as he helps build and renew our America.
