Today, January 20th 2009: The Best Day of the Decade

[A Black Falcon]

who else will we have to bitch about?

:)

Oh, I'm sure we'll find something... things Obama does we dislike, his lack of action on important issues, etc.

For instance, is he going to prosecute the many war criminals in the Bush Administration? Signs right now point towards "likely not", and that is both condoning torture and against everything America should stand for... they MUST be prosecuted if we want to say "That Was Wrong". Simply saying "you were wrong, bad" and doing nothing else is absolutely unacceptable and it's pretty horrible that they may not act. Even if they can't get convictions, the effort alone would make it worth it.

Well, let's be clear here. Bush didn't... intern the Japanese or exile the native Americans to a blasted land of worthlessness (my home state, yay!). So, I can't say he's the worst... ever.

No, he only started a war that's killed 100,000 people.

There are worse things than that war, like whoever you blame Vietnam on, but it's pretty bad... and the entire thing had absolutely no reason for happening beyond people in the administration's stupidity, arrogance, and uncaring.

If you think that was a compliment to him, well you should be made more familiar with the comedy stylings of Mark Twain. Sarcasms all the way down, hard to get across in the written word as it is.

Even so though, it is pretty obviously true that American treatment of the Native Americans was absolutely terrible for the entire time until their last independent states were crushed...
