DISQUS

bluestockton · 1 year ago

OT: Cokie must have an evil twin (in which case, she'd be an identical twin): did anyone see the townhall.com blogger who kvetched that she doesn't want to see Obama without a shirt, so why couldn't he have worn one on the beach?

So now he's committed the sin of wearing only swim trunks while swimming in the ocean. What's next--the Cokeheads insist he not go into the water barefoot?

Brings to mind the infamous photo of Nixon on the beach in a suit and dress shoes.

I don't understand why Obama won't wait for the convention as a time to name his choice. Why not do it then when he's getting maximum TV exposure?
Besides; Hillary could have been the logical choice before Russia and Georgia got into it; but, Wes Clark could be the logical choice now.

blackwolf · 1 year ago

He may be doing it for the boost he'll get from the media coverage. And, depending on who he chooses, McCain won't be able to pound on being weak on leadership and foreign policy. Here's the deal BB: I can't fathom why his campaign has no one who's jumping on McCain's slaps. He should have someone....anyone....jump out and rebutt the rovian attack dogs. Doesn't he listen to the news? Isn't he advised on what's happening on the blogs?

Obama needs to respond to this thusly:

"There will be no pardons. There will be a full investigation into the activities of the Bush administration. This investigation will take the form of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Should the facts as discovered deem it so, the results of the investigation will be handed over to the appropriate law enforcement officials for prosecution."

Here are the facts:
- the manipulation of the Justice Dept is a jail crime
- the treason of releasing Valerie Plame's name is a death sentence, or jail
- the War Crime of torture is a jail crime, at least (see Saddam for War Crime punishment)
- lying America into an aggressive War is an impeachable offense, as is all the above
- spying on all of us domestically is un-Constitutional

So of course, "please don't investigate us", naturally. To restore true accountability, all of these things would be pursued, and America would be healed, again. It seems that the Democrats are willing to let all this slide, so the crimes will not be prosecuted, the rich will again get off, and the rest of us wonder what we can do about it .... again.

Yes, this is really what any American should care about ----but, they don't. Good friends of mine, smart people, don't care about what you just outlined, and I am so sick.

Mike_G · 1 year ago

For me, this is priority one for the next administration.
If we don't have real accountability for the crimes of the last eight years, this country is irredeemably sunk into banana republic corruption and kleptocracy.
The Repigs cried for 'reconciliation' after their Watergate and Iran-Contra crime sprees, and all it got us was another generation (or in some cases, the very same people) of Repig criminality and the emboldening of sneering attack dogs like Gingrich and Delay who laugh at us for not going for the jugular.

Just because Scotty ratted on his bosses, doesn't mean he now has clean hands. He was very much complicit in it all.

Of course, he wouldn't want an investigation.

The rule of law is more important than unity. It there is no consequence to unlawful conduct then, this nation is in big trouble. We can't have unity without a lawful presidency.

KISSman · 1 year ago

Well endorse Obama, Scottie, and MAYBE he'll be lenient. Actually, I don't expect Obama to investigate the atrocities done by this administration. I expect he'll just say that we're turning the page and say we're leaving that mess behind. Meanwhile, all of the crooks will get away as expected.

naschkatzehussein · 1 year ago

I don't want to beat this into the ground, but "Saddlebackgate" is a disturbing prognosticator. On the Larry King cover-up you had Claire McCaskill and another Obama spokesman saying that what happened last Saturday was "no big deal". Well fine. It's no big thing if a "man of the cloth" lies or a presidential candidate cheats. John McCain can do no wrong because once upon a time he was a POW. And the surrogate whose name I can't remember said that no way can you challenge the word of a "man of the cloth". Warren himself implied that critics were impugning the honor of the Secret Service by saying McCain got the answers in his limousine or backstage. The Democrats are just as much to blame in this country having become a nation without law because they never challenge wrongdoing in the end. Never. I keep supporting Obama as the better choice, but I am getting a hollow feeling about our future under either party.

Milli · 1 year ago

This from the man who spilled the beans on Bush and friends to make some cash. As much as we "appreciate" him coming somewhat clean (but not all the way), he's still a peon who is not qualified to give advice to anyone let alone Obama.

Scotty's "advice" aside, I don't think Obama will do anything to these guys when he's in office, but that won't be entirely his fault. WE, the people, should have already done something about Bush and company a long time ago. We've been lazy and uninformed as a nation and to expect one man to clean all of the Bush mess up for us is unrealistic. He's got to focus on the war and the economy - sugesting that Bush and his buddies should be thrown in jail would be the wet dream of most of us here, but if Obama supported such a thing it would be political suicide. These slimeballs aren't going to go away quietly and, yes, Obama will have to do a certain amount of ass-kissing to big oil, big pharma, etc. for him to get anything done. Maybe I'm wrong - I would LOVE to be wrong.

ivyfree · 1 year ago

Geeze. You'd think people here never heard of a Presidential pardon. Bush 41 pardoned everyone he could think of, remember? there was a scandal because some of the people he pardoned had never been charged. I suspect 43 is going to pardon his entire administration and all the Republicans who were in Congress. Why wouldn't he? He'll probably pardon himself, which is illegal- and I think the Constitution disallows it too- just as a challenge, and then the republicans will say it's not fair that the president is the only one who can't be pardoned and people will act as though this is okay.

I'm just hoping for investigations and people's memoirs.
