It's always easier to blame others, than to take responsibility for one's owns actions, isn't? Blaming Bush for every aliment this country has, is much easier than finding solutions(REAL solutions) to our issues.
It's the residual affect of never holding Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice/Gonzales/Rove accountable and responsible for all the illegal dealings that transpired. They did not come to govern...they came to steal pretty much sums it up. Them and their oil and war mongering buddies have never been taken to task. Many people are disappointed that Obama did not address these issues, but I suppose he was advised that that would not be a way to start a Presidential career.
Except for gay americans. He pretty much through all of us under the bus so that he could win another term in 2004. He only involved in those wars as payback to his buddies in the petro and military industrial complex industries. He introduced Medicare Part D to win senior votes and help his buddies in the Drug industry. To think that bush is humanitarian in every respect is like saying that Hitler was a saint.
No, it's true. You are very mistaken if you think that just one publication or news source has this opinion based on facts. How do you explain the passing of Medicare Part D?

“moving on for the good of the country” is really just another term for "sweeping it under the rug."
The USA has one very large rug with a really nasty and soiled underside.
For Obama to prosecute would mean the unsealing of records. Obama's too of course. Obama is just not going to let his non transparency become that transparent. He isn't prosecuting because he is covering his own, arse.
We too may find out there were no war crimes. Then where would we be. But then again it could be possible to have another Iran-Contra....
Nope, Obama is not going to put his neck out there to get chopped off too. So the issue is dropped.
I wonder if people are feeling nostalgic for having Bush in the White House in order to blame him for the nation's problems - which he not only did nothing to solve but made considerably worse, and history will be very harsh on him and his presidency. This is NOT to say that Obama is doing a good job, he's not (and actually is continuing some Bush policies). But Bush was a much easier guy to hate.
After Spain returned to democracy there was a saying "contra Franco, vivimos mejor" (we lived better when we were against Franco) - it's easier to have someone really despicable to blame the country's problems on rather than someone who is more inept than evil. Note that the antiwar left has withered under Obama, and the libertarians are the ones keeping the antiwar movement alive. The ACLU's also suffered a drop in donations due to the mistaken belief that without Bush the government has started to respect civil liberties and civil rights more than it did in the last decade.

You are correct, Bush was much easier to hate...by some. Too many people are trying to be pc in their way of talking about Obama. I believe many feel that they will be considered racist if they vilify him as they did Bush.
