Barack Bush?

I am absolutely disgusted. Stunned, disappointed, and disgusted...




I am sure there are political considerations at play here. A Democratic president never wants to give the impression that he is weak on national defense; but the American people gave this Democratic president a solid majority of their vote based in part on his campaign promise to roll back the overreach of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and their team of constitutional shredders - overreach that weakened the security of our nation more than any reversal of Bush policy ever could. Moreover, I am sure there has been extreme push back from hawkish members of the State and Defense Departments, as well as the CIA and National Security Council.

All of that said, I can't seem to get my head around why this president refuses to let things take their course...why he refuses to take the steps necessary to bring the Bush administration to justice. It's the only way our Constitution can be fully restored.
