29. Five years into the Obama Administration...
Fri May 2, 2014, 10:59 AM

... we have Benghazi.

What was it like at this point, five years into the George W. Bush administration? What were we talking about in those days? Oh yes, I recall now:

* Stealing the election of 2000;

* Secretly meeting with oil companies to set policy, then covering it up;

* Permitting (or causing) the worst terror attacks in American history, then covering up during investigation;

* Permitting (or causing) the worst biological attacks in American history, then covering up during the investigation;

* Lying to start a war on false pretenses, leading to the death of half a million innocent people;

* Ratting out a CIA agent to settle a political score, and covering up during the investigation;

* Blowing the cover of the entire CIA weapons of mass destruction team;

* Enriching corrupt contractors in Iraq, including the sitting Vice President, who eventually became a citizen of Dubai in order to take in all of his ill-gotten money;

* Stealing the election of 2004;

* Torture;

* Five-dollar-a-gallon gasoline;

* Violating the NARA Act by conducting federal government business through private email which was never fully disclosed, on the same servers that stole Ohio for Bush in 2004;

* Appointing Condoleeza Rice to head the White House Iraq Group... twice, in separate years, because the group didn't really exist;

* Jeff Gannon, the gay male prostitute who posed as a reporter, ha ha ha!;

* Failing to catch Bush campaign supporter Osama bin Laden.

Still to come at this point in the Bush "legacy" were the attorney firings scandal, hurricane Katrina, the housing market collapse, the convenient death of Bush campaign officials, warrantless wiretapping, and selling US port facilities to the UAE.

Just reproducing that incomplete list was more traumatic to me than anything the Obama Administration has done. Going back over it, I realize how close those monsters came to totally destroying America.

We really need to hunt those people to the ends of the earth for what they did. If we don't, Jeb's gonna come back and do it all over again.
