bobquasit | Obama gives Bush/Cheney free pass

According to the New York Times today, Obama is not going to be investigating or prosecuting the crimes of the Bush Administration - despite what he said on the campaign trail. I am shocked, shocked.

Even so, I had to make a comment:

He hasn't even been SWORN IN yet, and he has already betrayed his oath of office (to uphold the Constitution, if anyone remembers). Can we impeach him before he gets sworn in, too?

Why would he and the Democratic leadership want to help cover up the crimes of the Bush Administration? I have the sneaking suspicion that it's because they plan to commit the same sort of abuses too - wholesale warrantless spying on Americans, the abolition of habeas corpus, and torture.

The American Dream continues to turn into a nightmare. This is NOT the change I hoped for.
