No one thought the Clinton regime would execute McVeigh either.
Not true at all, in fact they couldn't get him dead fast enough. Clintoon and his minions perfectly characterized McVeigh as the prototypical white, Christian, gun owner. And they wanted him dead before the truth came to light.
While in office, Clinton actually tried to give the image of a moderate, DLC, type Democrat so’s he could be a two-termer. Remember, he even signed welfare reform? Obama is having none of that. He is governing like a far lefty, dared the voters to re-elect him, and by golly they did. He won’t execute a Muslim.
