Barack Obama's plan for imposing unity on the nation after he takes office apparently entails a close look at war crimes trials for Bush administration officials. He has even said so in an interview with Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News.
This kind of change -- putting your predecessors on trial for their conduct of policy -- may not be what most Americans really want or expect from someone with Obama's gauzy rhetoric of unity. But unity has a dark side in the hands of people who regard their opponents as criminals. America has two centuries-plus of history lacking the totalitarian practice of jailing the predecessors when a new president takes office.
This is the sort of proposal one might expect from a man steeped in Marxism at his church, from his friends like Ayers, and as a member of the Alinsky Left. But I am surprised he let this slip............

Not enough men left for that. Just a bunch of weaklings who will accept and say we must respect the law. Even if the law becomes fascist tyranny.

They may be crazy, but if they gain power, insanity will have the force of law.

The MSM has covered BHO as if he were the “Mr. Rogers Character”. It seem the blogosphere has begun to unravel the omnipresent sweater.
Mayhap, McCain perchance might be a more palatable choice tha I had thought.

The MSM will cover for Obama, that is a given. As in 2004, it’s going to be up to the New Media (Internet, Conservative Talk Radio)to expose Obama for the dangerous left radical thatt he is.
To: Dr. Ursus
Yup. Does the Left think the generals in charge of the Iraq and Afghan campaigns (and the enlisted men) are so stupid that they won't realize they are next in line?
Vlidimir Ilyich Obama may 'recall' the troops in Iraq, but they 'return' like the French paras in 1962.
We would'nt have to put up with this bulls--t if criminal muderers like Ayers and other leftist traitors had been hung 40 years ago.

Typical of pig faced left-wing Nazi Democrats.
They want to destroy the nation and give it to the enemy.

When W took over the Clintonistas purged the w’s from the keyboards so Nobama is taking it a step farther and purging W and his key aids.

Not for me, thanks. If we’re going to talk political trials, I propose trials for Marxist traitors instead. We can start with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, and then move on to the rest of the Obama supporters.

Sounds just like the Nazi anti-Americans who helped the Communist kill thousands of Americans and millions of South Vietnamese. Hopefully the are all sick with STD but the offspring of Hitler like Bill Ayers and his killer wife are using my tax money to live big.

Now, if I found out that there were high officials who knowingly, consciously broke existing laws, engaged in coverups of those crimes with knowledge forefront, then I think a basic principle of our Constitution is nobody above the law -- and I think that's roughly how I would look at it.
Pretty funny considering his past actions and the company he keeps.

This whole “Obama is going to put the Bush administration on war crimes trials” is about the biggest Chicken-Little bunch of crap I’ve seen in my life. There are plenty of things Obama can be rightfully bashed for. Normal people see stuff like this and think that all anti-Obama people are this wacky.

how many ‘investigations’ has the democrat congress had since regaining the majority in both houses?
i don’t think its wacky to consider that possibility - especially since obama seems to have said he might

WTH, you don't believe your own eyes & ears? Barack and Michelle have made it clear by their own words that they will demand obedience for the larger Hope & Change goodie.
