“…at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past,” said Barack Obama yesterday – and what ‘past’ was he referring to? Why, the “dark and painful chapter in our history”, meaning three months ago, the situation before he became President of the US of A. Yes, those who kidnapped and tortured under the previous administration will be mollycoddled, hugged, kissed and protected by the current one: (Obama pledges to protect CIA torture operatives, Independent, 17 April 2009).
Think about what the pompous Presidential statement implies. Let’s imagine you killed and ate 327 children and got caught. You’re in the dock and the prosecutor details your heinous crimes for the jury. Then when it comes to give testimony, what do you say? “…at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past,” you’ll say, adding that it was a “dark and painful chapter” in your “history”. And, if the judge has the Obama mentality, all charges will be dropped. Maybe it should be called the Obama defence.
Listen, you, Obama!! All crimes happen “in the past”! If you don’t “spend your time and energy” prosecuting those who are to “blame” you simply do not have a criminal justice system!
And since when was protecting criminals actually legal? Ever heard of obstruction of justice? Accessory after the fact? Who was that President who didn’t physically commit a burglary but engineered the cover-up afterwards? Why, it was Richard Nixon! Wow, and I thought Obama only wanted to be as bad as Bush. No, he wants to achieve the full Nixon and nothing’s going to stop him! Yes he can!
