I voted for Barack Obama to change things in Washington. That includes especially the crooks running Justice who allow Rove and Cheney and the rest of the crew that lied America into war and outted a NOC as a warning to the rest of those in government service walk free while Don Siegelman and Richard Scrushy rot in the pen.
Certainly, President Obama has all sorts of pressures working on him, from threats on him from within and without Washington. Really, I try to understand when he says one thing in his speech and something else seems to always happen. That's why the nomination of James Comey to head the FBI is not a surprise as much as it is another disappointment like Lew at Treasury, Pritzker at Commerce and Brennan at CIA.
My specific objections to Comey have to do with his work for John "Crisco Stopped Flying Commercial" Ashcroft. When Pat Robertson was pretty much outted as a four-chicken USMC coward by Pete McCloskey in his run for the pretzelduncy in '88, Crisco became the poster child for the evangelical Reich. The clan that included Jerry Falwell and the rest of the Christian Conservative Coalition or whatever sheet they hid under were to back Ashcroft. Of course, with Falwell and Robertson came Moon and Sgt. John Doe and the rest of Crime and War Inc.
The gross criminal incompetence, at best, of Bush and his madministration should have led to indictments and incarceration for almost all the top officials. The case that we can make, based solely on the public record, demonstrate the Bush cabal were guilty of treason, most likely.
You are correct, H20 Man. We don't have a say-so. Which, in a democracy, is a shame. We the People had always believed that was the point.
