Obama bows to the corruption or like breaking the law is allowed because politics is so important

"If crimes have been committed, they should be investigated," he said. But he quickly added, "I would not want my first term consumed by what was perceived on the part of the Republicans as a partisan witch hunt, because I think we've got too many problems to solve."

So Obama bows to a perceived delusional perception of the Republican party because that is more important than the rule of law or his vows of office.

"Witch hunt" - What a clever mis-characterization for a legal judicial process. And Obama conveniently offers it to the Republicans. It is kind of like a plan being put into action to circumvent the judicial system and it is not by a Republican but by a Democrat. WOW.

First he makes it appear that "his first term would be consumed" - as if there is no factual justification to investigate The bush regime that tried to justify a war crime - namely torture and worse that the investigation would be more of trying to find hard to find evidence that crimes (a war crime - torture) were committed by Bush and his regime and then he uses the excuse that the Republicans would perceive the investigation of crimes as a "witch hunt." Obama uses the term "witch hunt" as if it is a valid argument when it is, at the least, merely a self made excuse for inaction, and at the worst, a violation of Obama's oath of office.

Gee whillickers fellows, you really have to hand it to the new president. Not only has he made the argument that he has chosen to look away from his duties as president but he has tried to make it appear that the rule of law and the judicial search and attempts at justice can be foregone because it shows he wants to appear as a bi-partisan President. LOL - or I suppose it could show that his excuses are just a corruption of the office that is passed on from one prez to the next.

Much like when Ford pardoned Nixon. Justice is too hard for the great corrupt country called the USA. Ford called it an end to the long national nightmare of Watergate. Now we have Obama trying to end a "perceived witch hunt" to appease the Republicans and his duties as president are secondary.

Oh well such is the way of the politics of the USA and those who agree are fine with the process. But those people who have a loftier approach to truth justice do not consider this pandering as the American way. We consider it as an abomination that our country's system of justice can not prosecute the evil doers as they hide in plain sight on the lawn of the White House as they commit their crimes and after they are shown to be the villains they are.

I know I will get flamed here for what I have written. And i know that this piece will be umrec'ed for my point of view in this matter. But I ask you to not attack me but please attack the content of my message.

And I here and now would like to take the sole responsibility for the Admins of this site enabling the unrec button merely for my actions on this board. I and I alone should be looked on as the reason for the unrec. For one can see plainly that there are people that would want to allow an out for what they do not want to take responsibility for and and they then connive to create a machination that does the deed by the hand of others - or by placing the responsibility to side step an issue they put the ability on others. This would be to allow and be a justification for their own inaction in a matter. It is also called political maneuvering at times.

So if the unrec is to be used then fine. I would hope that those who use it would have the courage to post a reply to this article.
