President Obama sheilding the worst human rights abuses, from a republican administratio, from public scrutiny is one of the most shameful failures of his administration.

We hear over and over how we need to stand with and for our ideals and party. The democratic leadership meanwhile spends time rehabilitating the image of murderous thieving bastards like Cheney and Bush. These are criminals who should be in front of the international tribunal not on the weekend television shows.

Fuck Cheney, fuck Kissinger and all the neocon bitches given a get out of jail free card from the Obama administration.

It's sad that the so called South American "banana republics" have done a better job holding their criminal leadership to account for their crimes than we have.
