I never suggested letting “Obama off the hook” and it does not take a “marvelous gift of knowing the future actions of others” to know that getting the long form BC would not put an end to this.
Let me just say that I want to see the long-form BC and all other documents that Obama doesn’t want me to see—BECAUSE Obama doesn’t want me to see them.
AFTER—AFTER—AFTER we see them is the time to decide whether or not it was worthwhile clamoring to see them.
I have never seen so many people promoting complacency, uncuriosity, and apathy as republican (small-R) virtues. I don’t seem to recall the press and liberals hooting and hollering that nobody should be interested in the Nixon tapes, or that holding hearings on Iran-Contra was unacceptably “upsetting.”
