When the Obama administration chose to protect the Bush war criminals, no doubt they expected some kind of gratitude considering the mood of not just this country, but other nations regarding the Bush crimes.
When the Obama administration chose to protect Wall St. criminals and incredibly, despite all the evidence to the contrary, declare that what they did to collapse the world's economies, was not criminal, merely 'immoral' no doubt they thought that the Wall St puppets whose seats in Congress were bought for them, would show some signs of gratitude.
We however knew what the results would be. We were TOLD that it would be 'too divisive' to uphold the rule of law.
I would laugh now watching what is going on if it were not so tragic for millions of Americans and other people around the world.
I know this, had Obama applied the rule of law to the Bush gang and the Wall St criminals, they would at least have some respect for him, gruding respect maybe, but when they see someone trying so hard to appease them, it was so predictable that like all bullies, they would only push harder and refuse to even acknowledge all he has done for them. Nominating their party members to his cabinet, offering up SS to try to get them to 'like us' etc etc.
I keep waiting for him to start laying down the law so we can see them scurry like the rats they are rather than watch this tragic spectacle of a Democratic administration working so hard to get their approval, BOASTING that he is making his own angry hoping they will appreciate that, only to see him getting the same response he would have gotten anyhow had he just applied the rule of law.
In fact, correction. If they had been busy trying to defend themselves from prosecution for their crimes, it is more than likely that it is THEY who would be bending over backwards trying to appease HIM.
When you give up your principles and appease the wrong side of history, no one respects you. You can't please all of the people all of the time, so the best thing to do is cater to those who elected you and do the right thing.
