I'm still quite sure that justice will be served.

Perhaps, I'm too much of an optimist.

But, I really think that the actions required to serve justice that need to be taken by the Obama administration still depend on our loud, fervent and constant encouragement.

If we want President Obama to do the right thing regarding the Bush Administration's crimes, we must be the ones to lead the way to give him the unshakable clout to accomplish such a thing.

Momentum is very hard thing to start in American politics.

But once it begins, it's a very hard thing to stop.

4. Amen to that, MrS!
Obama, unlike Bush, doesn't stick his fingers in his ears and say, "Lalalalala, I can't HEAR you!"

The more noise we make, the more chance there is that he WILL listen.

5. Yell for the public option in health care while at, please. Something tangible for all the anger.

6. Millions of people protesting didn't stop Bush from invading Iraq.
Obama won't listen to public pressure, either, especially if Democrats on the Intelligence committees at the time acquiesced to torture and war crimes.

8. I disagree. You are equating Obama with Bush, and there are some
significant differences between them.

Not to mention the fact that what you're saying just sounds like an excuse to not do anything at all.

Yeah, all the protesting didn't do a damned thing when Bush was in office. He is incapable of listening to anything that goes against what he wants.

I don't think that's true of Obama.

Yeah, right now there are things that people are angry about, but you just cannot judge what he might or might not do using what happened under Bush.

Why don't we all give a shout, and keep shouting, to see what he will do.

It's not just up to him to take care of things.

It's also up to us to tell him what we WANT changed.
