Reply #65: The Amicus Brief: [View All]

[Mike K]

When President-elect Obama was asked by a reporter if he intended to facilitate investigations or prosecutions of any members of the Bush Administration he said he had no such plans but would not stand in the way of any actions that might arise. This brief leaves no doubt as to who and what Obama really is.

While the action against Yoo is a civil tort, not a criminal procedure, it is certain to uncover facts which would unavoidably result in criminal charges -- which undoubtedly is why Obama is intervening. Because if Yoo is squeezed by an efficient prosecutor he is sure to implicate Cheney and even Bush, himself, who Obama is really protecting.

Obama is far too wise and experienced to not know how this unmistakable affirmation of his duplicity will affect the prospect of re-election in 2012. So I'm wondering whether he doesn't care or if he so egotistical as to believe he can just point his chin in the air and run his bullshit game over us again.

Either way we could be looking at a probable Republican presidency. Because Reagan is why we got Clinton, and Clinton is why we got Bush, and Bush is why we got Obama, and so it goes. Each time the pendulum swings the arc is greater. And the next swing could reach the limit.
