(11,064 posts)(or very slow) can understand that the Republicans didn't appoint the Bush-carryovers and other Republicans to high level positions in the Obama Administration. Obama did.
Bush has been out of office for more than four years. Bush is no longer the president. His Administration is not negotiating in secret for the TPP (NAFTA on steriods) to sent more American jobs to foreign countries. Obama's Administration is doing that.
When coordinated attacks were committed by the militarized police against peaceful Occupy Wall Street protestors and nothing was done by the U.S. Attorney General to protect their civil rights, Bush was not the president. Obama was and still is.
The banksters who were bailed out instead of being sent to prison don't want to hear what the OWS protestors have to say, but that doesn't mean that the Obama Administration should be involved with or allow the police to deliver unnecessary and excessive violence to shut them up.
