Robert Reich
I'm here in Florida visiting my father, Ed Reich, who, at the young age of 100 and a half, just came up with one of the most incisive assessments I've heard of what's happened in Iraq: "George W. Bush and the crooks he hired are responsible for this. If they hadn't lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction we wouldn't have lost nearly 5,000 American lives and god knows how many Iraqi lives, and stirred up this hornet's nest. Obama has spent his entire administration cleaning up Bush's shit, like someone with a giant pooper scooper." Dad has lived during the administrations of 17 presidents. "Bush was the worst," he says. "Reagan the second worst."

Clear to see from whom Robert inherited a great deal of his common sense and intelligence!

One savvy elder we should all pay attention to. No wonder he has such a brilliant son.

I believe that Obama knew it wasn't over. And he was right. Bush cohorts are speaking again.

Why Bush, Cheney, Rice, etc. have not been jailed as war criminals is beyond me
