It's one thing for Obama to not want to prosecute Bush and Cheney as war criminals, as although it sets a horrendous precedent, he has priorities, and prosecuting former presidents could create further rifts in a country when we need to heal. When he defends a war criminal, however, it is inexcusable. Now he's sent a message that if you're in government and do something wrong, not only will we not punish you for it: nobody can punish you for it.
I can no longer defend this President. I am looking forward to a primary challenge.
Thoughts?
