The author Mark Benjamin seems to be fixated on the same issues as Code Pink, from the anthrax vaccine, to Walter Reed, to Abu Ghraib. I wonder if he is related to Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin?

They may be convinced that no Republican will ever again be elected President, so they don't have to worry about future retaliation.

Right now a large portion of the Democratic Party believes that Bush and a number of major figures in his administration are criminals who should be punished, but they don't yet have a majority of the public with them.

The first step would be to hold hearings to try to convince the public that Bush & the others are criminals. If that works, then proceed with prosecutions. Obama wouldn't want to commit himself to prosecutions until he can tell if it will benefit him politically...waiting till after the 2012 election would be playing it safe (although then there may be a problem with statute of limitations).

Will the public be so hostile to Bush in 2013 that they would want him put on trial? No one can predict that far ahead. If Obama's dismantling of the war on terror leads to major terrorist strikes in the US or the obliteration of Israeli cities, the public may decide Bush had the right idea.

The song about the Inquisition that Mel Brooks sang in his history movie is running through my head.

No, he'll bring this front and center when the country is faced with 2 zillion problems he doesn't have a clue how to fix and the people are grumbling and blaming him.

And the MSM will be his willing cohorts to put the investigations constantly on the air and in the press so that for the next 4-8 years we still will have "Blame Bush, all the time!"

The [Woods] Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund’s website. ...(Excerpt) Read more at worldnetdaily.com ...

The board of a nonprofit organization [The Woods Fund] on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a “catastrophe” and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens. The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group. ——— “Obama worked with terrorist ,” BY Aaron Klein , wnd, 2/24/2008 JERUSALEM”

I’m reminded of this one from ‘The Producers’:

Heil myself
Heil to me
I’m the kraut
Who’s out to change our history
Heil myself
Raise your hand
There’s no greater
Dictator in the land!
Everything I do, I do for you!
CHORUS:
Yes, you do!
ROGER (Obama):
If you’re looking for a war, here’s World War Two!
Heil myself
Raise your beer
CHORUS:
Jawohl!
ROGER (Obama):
Ev’ry hotsy-totsy Nazi stand and cheer
CHORUS:
Hooray!
Ev’ry hotsy-totsy Nazi...
ROGER (Obama):
Heil myself!
CHORUS:
Ev’ry hotsy-totsy Nazi...
ROGER (Obama):
Heil myself!
CHORUS:
Ev’ry hotsy-totsy Nazi...
ROGER:
...stand and cheer!
THE HEIL-LOs:
The Fuhrer is causing a furor!
He’s got those Russians on the run
You gotta love that wacky hun!
The Fuhrer is causing a furor
They can’t say “no” to his demands
They’re freaking out in foreign lands
He’s got the whole world in his hands
The Fuhrer is causing a furor!
ROGER(Obama):
I was just a paper hanger
No one more obscurer
Got a phone call from the Reichstag
Told me I was Fuhrer
Germany was blue
What, oh, what to do?
Hitched up my pants
And conquered France
Now Deutschland’s smiling through!
But it wasn’t always so easy...
It was 1932. Hindenburg was working the Big Room and I...
I was playing the lounge. And then I got my big break.
Somebody burned down the Reichstag. And, would you believe it?
They made me Chancellor. Chancellor!
It ain’t no myst’ry
If it’s politics or hist’ry
The thing you gotta know is
Ev’rything is show biz
Heil myself
Watch my show
I’m the German Ethel Merman
Dontcha know
We are crossing borders
The new world order is here
Make a great big smile
Ev’ryone sieg heil to me
Wonderful me!
And now it’s...
CHORUS:
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Goose-step’s the new step today

Yes, and maybe it will work for about 6 months. Eventually, the people, when they realize what they have done, will tire of it.

You may be right.

But, on the other hand, they never tired of bashing Bush for 8 years. I trust the MSM will redirect any anger at Obama to a continuous one at Bush.

We’re fighting a 7th century enemy but we’re expecting them to behave according to 20th/21st century rules.

Correct. The muzzies see their war on The West in terms of a continuum that started in the 7th century. Our Leftist ruling class sees abused minorities striking back against evil, corporatist oppressors. A united Islam has the means to defeat a fragmented West.
