... there's a problem. Stephen Colbert was perfect: "We're not saying that you did anything illegal, Mr. President. We're saying we find it creepy that you didn't have to."

And that's it. I don't care if he isn't Dick Cheney. He's the emperor of the evil empire, using all the sith powers handed off to him... If it looks like sith lord, and acts like a sith lord, and quacks like a sith lord, it's a sith lord. You deal with sith lords by booting them out of your empire and restoring the republic under rule of law, not by hoping for a kinder, gentler, sith lord at the helm.
