All is Obama's fault...and he is just killing innocent persons willy-nilly with drones.
It all made me want to puke.

(10,336 posts)unhinged by the day. I personally have feared for his life from the moment he was elected, and will continue to do so for obvious reasons. (Especially since some of the same actors surrounding JFK might still be alive and in the highest positions of power.)
That all said, he also might find his hand forced on the issue anyway, and truth be told, perhaps that was his plan all along. Pressure from the world will surely come to a head, and just in time for the new Congress.
Not sure how it might play out, but with all the radicalized nuts we have, just imagining one (or more) of their idolized heroes facing real prosecution or the threat of might be too much to keep one of them from snapping- hell, they're already making some attempts it seems with the fence-jumpers and the like.
I like the idea of Pres. Obama pardoning Bush, just so we can avoid inflaming the situation, as much as it pains me to say that. At least he would be laying the marker down for future Presidents, and Bush and the Republicans would have yet another well-deserved and proper historical stain on their record.
