(614 posts)he had to play by the plutocracy rules because he had just had the demise of the world economy dumped in his lap, and that is not his area of expertise. plus, better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out than on the outside pissing in, as LBJ so graciously pointed out.
still, yeah, obama proved to have 'debts' to pay, as it were. sad.
as for trying W et al, i cannot imagine how that would have fit in with the rest of what had to happen. i've come to at least entertain a wisdom in leaving that for a future more suitable, tho i hypocritically still rage about ford letting nixon off the hook, and reagan's similarly treasonous acts, etc.
hey, at this point, i can be at least temporarily satisfied that none of those cretins can leave the country without threat of arrest, and that W has been reduced to art therapy to deal with his many demons.
sick folks, those. i'll give obama major kudos for grace under pressure, even if he has not made all the decisions i thought he should've made. but then, i cannot even begin to grasp the calculus he has had to face. not least of which has been the treats against his own life, and likely his lovely ladies.
like you, i also fear for bernie in that regard. the only thing holding those thugs back will be a memory of how it makes a martyr of your victim. but i worry they just won't care.
