Cat Wearing Mittens

Jelperman at Avedon:

...If I had slept through the last eighteen months and woke up this morning and you had told me that it’s 2009 and we have a new President who:

a) not only refuses to prosecute known war criminals and torturers, but whose DoJ files legal briefs to stop all inquiries in the matter, AND promises to keep “terrorist” defendants locked up no matter the results of their “trials” (including Bush’s kangaroo military commissions)

b) escalated the war in Afghanistan while continuing to occupy Iraq

c) Let Republicans, right-leaning Democrats, and the Pentagon set the agenda for his four-year term

d) promised health care reform, but only offered a larger version of the incestuous insurance company/government circle-jerk enacted in Massachusetts

e) fired minor government employees at the behest of Glenn Beck

f) gave numerous other gifts to the Right and corporations, while slapping the liberals in the face at every opportunity

I would have thought “Well, maybe President Romney will only last one term.”

Still, it beats having someone who views global apocalypse as a good foreign policy.

Barry O.'s bipartisan crew simply thinks they can limit it to the golden crescent.
