Yes, absolutely. The only caveat I have is that we should wait for the results of the investigation to decide who should face charges. And I don't mean that we should accept a summary report, we need to see *all* the materials gathered during the investigation.

Scandals to disqualify one from the office. Previous presidents have proven that.

Because most people don't evaluate their lives based on media hype. We use...our lives. Since my life has improved, as well as everyone I know, we don't get worked up by every "scandal" that hits the airwaves. We're happy. You seem angry.

I said the exact same thing. I was jaded by the GOP and credit them for turning me to Constitutional Libertarianism. What made me a firm critic of Obama was how he promised to work on both sides of the aisle and then locked all of the Republicans out and spent over two years pushing through the ACA. When he proved himself to be the most arrogant partisan President in his first 2 years... that was enough for me.

The uniter became the divider fairly quickly, much to the delight of his cult following.

Isn't that a let them eat cake attitude? Others are certainly suffering more, even though you and your circle are doing well. The unemployment rates are still some of the worst in history for certain demographics, such as youth and especially black youth. Up to 6 million middle class jobs have been exchanged for lower paying jobs, and this was confirmed by Joe Biden just last week. The USD has been diluted by the biggest injection of fiat currency in the history of man.

I'm glad you're happy, but at what cost?

Isn't this the same attitude, that I'd bet you frown on, the global warming deniers use? If it isn't affecting them, everything is good. It is the exact same thing, without a doubt.

I'm just saying.

If they're found guilty of negligence or worse? Of course. Who wouldn't? Except for the administrators involved, obviously.

And if it emerges that Obama personally directed everyone from Shinseki on down to falsify appointment data in order to make certain regional VA offices look good, then he should pay the price.

You and I agree 100%, and that is exactly why we need to stop the right left rhetoric, the shotgun assumptions, the Obama is or isn't to blame derisions, and let the investigations unfold and play out.

I still believe there are more honest people in government than dishonest people. I believe they'll sort it out and roll the baddies.
