Until Bush/Cheny Co. is prosecuted and imprisoned, Barack will continue to fail.

What exactly does that mean?

Can you think of any American who has ever advocated imprisoning a president? Even with Nixon, the attention was directed toward impeachment, not imprisonment. Again, looking backward with such crazy thoughts does NOTHING for our current situation. If that is the method by which Obama plans to proceed- inaction and blame- he should resign and let someone else lead. We need a leader, not a chief in assignment of blame. BTW- the democratic senate and congress over the last three years as well as all the previous presidents, of course, are blameless.

Libs are interesting. Imprisoning former leaders is an action that we would expect from tyrannical, facist governements- those that libs embrace.

That statement makes no sense. What does the ideology of the country have to do with whether justice is presented to a former "leader"? Also the President is a public servant, not a leader. Leader is a term used when describing a figurehead of an oligarchy, not a republic.

You want to give Obama and future presidents a despot pass?

Again, why do all libs fail to address anything in the present time and just try to justify current incompetance by relativism? It must be the new orders from George Soros. It is about as lame as calling everything "racist".
Why do you conservos try so hard to ignore Bush's failures?

So WHEN DOES OBAMA BECOME RESPONSIBLE?????
He's responsible for the clean up. The one you're complaining about.

Bush is responsible for the mess. The one you're denying.

I'm not interested in prison sentences for Bush or Cheney. Exposing their part in the illegal activites and public disdain will be plenty.

Denying?

Bush was a liberal. He had a democratic senate and congress for two years. I suppose they have no culpability. Bush tried to eliminate the FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC mandate of loans to people who could not afford them (initiated by Carter), but was shot down by the senate and congress (Chris Dodd and Barney Frank).

Again, do you guys have ANY solutions, or just blame? It is the new lib mantra- blame and whining over action.
