Will Obama Pardon Dubya?

Poll question: Will Obama Pardon Dubya?

[mtnsnake]

1. In essence, Pelosi already did. n/t

[Demeter]

6. She has until the Bush Pardons Comes Out to Mend Her Ways

If he's under impeachment before that, the game is over for BushCo.

[Demeter]

2. Hell, NO!

The donkey is merely a symbol of the party, not a descriptor!

[babylonsister]

3. I hope he has a chance to ponder and act on that thought.

I don't know how, but I do hope so. And FTR, I answered 'no'.

[last1standing]

4. No, but only because he will never be formally charged with a crime.

As much as I would love to see that prick behind bars for the rest of his sniveling, pathetic life, it just won't happen. We should face reality and move forward working on what can be done to ensure this doesn't happen again.

16. Obama has promised, back in April, and Biden has reaffirmed in August...

...that there will be investigations by an Obama Administration of any criminal acts by the Bush Administration, but I don't think even they have it in them to prosecute an ex-President of the United States.

I just don't see it but then again, I'm not all-seeing. Perhaps they'll go after people like Cheney or Rumsfeld and definitely Alberto Gonzales, but Bush?

Anyway, with fingers crossed, I voted "Yes" nonetheless.

5. It would be better to claim he is an enemy combatant and send him to Gitmo.. see how he likes it

[onehandle]

7. Bush will never investigated, accused, or prosecuted, so no. nt

[Mira]

17. I pray you are wrong

[That Is Quite Enough]

8. Possibly, but W. would have to be charged, first.

[JJ]

9. Don't care

In fact I hope he does.
First act as President, Obama issue a blanket pardon for George W. Bush.
Then prosecute Cheney and Rove and every other slimeball in the misadministration.

10. Bush is going to pardon the whole crew before he leaves office...

Including himself.

[Wickerman]

11. For What?

Someone would have to actually charge him with something to begin with and I don't see anyone who can make a difference doing that.

[DrToast]

12. He doesn't have to charged with anything

Nixon was never charged and Ford pardoned him.

[Beregond2]

13. For what?

He hasn't been charged with anything.

[Occam Bandage]

14. No. Bush will not be charged with any crime by anyone.

[Beacool]

15. No, Bush and company will never be prosecuted.

Washington takes care of Washington.

:shrug:

[IsItJustMe]

18. Yes, he will do it for the sake of healing and reconciliation. Many here will be mad at him for

doing it. I see Obama as a very forgiving and compasionate person. Just look at his smile and you will know that.

On edit: If it ever came to that, I would trust his judgement.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

19. He better not.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

20. Double post, sorry.

[Enthusiast]

21. He'd better not! nt

[WeDidIt]

22. Obma is smart

and understands history.

[MrSlayer]

23. No, that would mean he had actually been convicted of something.

And that is never going to happen. He and his crew are going off to count their blood money scott free.

[Borgnine]

24. What, if Dubya belches at Obama's inaugration?

Yeah, I can definitely see Obama let that slide by.

[Douglas Carpenter]

25. In the real world, it is highly highly unlikely that ANY charges will be brought against George W.

It is possible that charges would be brought against Dick Cheyney - but less than likely.
