11. Obama has no one to blame but himself

Tue May 14, 2013, 10:07 AM

May 2013

He decided to allow all of Bush crimes to go unprosecuted knowing full well that no such similar courtesy would be extended to him (and if he didn't know this, he is an idiot). His crimes WOULD be punished. Didn't he learn anything from the Clinton years?

And it doesn't matter if any of this is "technically" legal or if BushCo did it first. Obama has handed his enemies mountains of political/rhetorical/legal ammunition to use against him and so alienated his base that numerous key groups will NOT have his back. In fact, groups like the ACLU will be actively working against him since he has shown such contempt for civil rights.
