I'll add to that the US is the only country on the planet that has ever used (and used in Iraq and uses in Afghanistan) nuclear weapons.

This isn't a 1940s movie, and you're not trying to get Kim Novak out of the picture.
Obama originally got away with not investigating Bush and Cheney, protecting them, by saying "Now's not the time", as if "Later" will be.
That's precisely what Bill Clinton did regarding the first Bush and the Ir@n-C0ntra scandaI, and we're still paying the price for that. Bush-Cheney never would have happened had Reag@n-Bush been investigated and prosecuted.
If we were to actually buy your BS, when it was 'later' Obama would say to anyone reminding him, "It's water under the bridge. It's time to forgive and forget and move on."
There is no 'later'; there's only NOW.
Because without investigating and prosecuting, the next time the Bushes and the Cheneys get into power they will up the ante and do worse.
If you think the first Bush-Cheney administration was bad, wait until you see the next one (J.e.b BUSH & L.i.z CHENEY).

If it doesn't happen now, it will never happen.
And if it never happens, everything that Bush and Cheney did, from taking the nation to war on l!es to conducting the greatest heist on the People in the history of civilization, will happen again. Obama and the DLC-controlled Democratic Party have not done anything to prevent it. Nothing.
The American people had better start understanding the mechanics of what's been going on if they are to stand any chance of recovering and preventing it ever happening again. And the only way that's going to happen is through investigations and prosecutions.

Unless and until they are tried in courts of law, their opinions are left to stand as legitimate.
That's why Obama must stop blocking investigations and prosecutions.

The revisionism of history has begun.
By blocking investigations and prosecutions into the Bush-Cheney administration, Obama allows the white-washing of them in history.
I'll tell you what else it's going to allow:
Jeb Bush becoming a US president.

Over the course of US history, corporations have managed to game our political system, and done it so effectively that the two-party system competes to serve corporate interests while defending that service as, "What's good for GM (corporations) is good for America (We the People)".
DLC Democrats who control the Democratic Party and Republicans are corporate t00Is. Like siblings competing for the attention and approval (campaign contributions) of a parent, Republicans and DLC-controlled Democrats try to outdo each other in delivering for their real constituent, Big Corporations. The trick for them has been to make it seem as if they were really working on behalf of We the People.
Democratic voters have mistakenly believed that Obama&Democrats were for strong regulations on banks, Wall Street, investigations, prosecutions, restitution of what has been robbed from the middle class and poor for the past 30+ years, environmental clean-up, clean, sustainable renewable energy (& that isn't nuclear), putting an end to the wars and occupation of Iraq & Afghanistan, affordable, quality universal healthcare (which ObamaCare is not), and more. The DLC-controlled Democratic party gives lip service to these & all populist issues, because like the Republican Party, the DLC works for the benefit of transnational corporations.
Obama is no better than Bush-Cheney.
Unless & until there is drastic and uncompromising change to our campaign financing system, until corporations are no longer 'persons' and are prohibited from participating in elections and politics, all efforts to reform government are useless.

Barack Obama is continuing just about all of the Bush-Cheney policies.
You're failing to see the big picture if you think the post-9/11 policies sprang from the minds of Bush and Cheney.
Just like Bush's tax cuts coming to a close right before an election, it was planned far in advance. Just like the economic meltdown, the greatest heist on the People in the history of civilization, occurring just as Bush is walking out the door didn't just happen. The timing is coincidental.

And Barack Obama is hanging himself out to dry for all of them (just as Hillary Clinton would have been had she been elected).
And he will be very well paid when he leaves the White House.

Why do you believe this?
Obama has closed the door on it.
Who's going to do it?
To vote for Obama is a vote to let Bush and Cheney off, and continue Bush-Cheney policies.
Who will you vote for in 2012?
I'll make the point even easier for you: Who are you going to vote for in 2010?

Tony Blair is a war criminal.
Just like Bush and Cheney.
Obama is, too.
With no investigations and prosecutions, their crimes continue and the entire world comes closer to annihilation from the policies of the very richest being enforced to the detriment of the rest of humankind.

David Plouffe: Unemployment Would Be Even Higher If Republicans Had Their Way..
========================================
This really can't be what Democrats and Obama want to run on. That Obama's and Democrats' compromised instead of fighting 'open throttle' with a robust stimulus and re-regulatory legislation to restore the middle class, so that corporate greed could never take down the economy again.
Until Obama and the DLC-controlled Democratic Party investigate and prosecute the Bush Administration, the American people will continue on this road to becoming a third world nation.
We need leadership and a political party that fights for the American people's interests, and not for big business. Conservatives have already declared war on the American people. We need leaders with fire in their bellies, who are willing to take on conservatives, and not compromise with them.
Obama's got to make a choice.

So common, in fact, that Palin's father, Chuck Heath, didn't think twice before sharing this (reprinted from the New Yorker - http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2009/12/07/091207crbo
==Sarah Palin, though notoriously ill-travelled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. “Hawaii was a little too perfect,” Palin writes. “Perpetual sunshine isn’t necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls.” Perhaps not. But Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to [Scott] Conroy and [Shushannah] Walshe [authors of 'Sarah From Alaska']. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: “They were a minority type thing and it wasn’t glamorous, so she came home.”==

Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Rac!st, Sex!st, Vindict!ve, And Mean”:
==
“So Samb0 beat the b!tch!”
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.
“It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole.
Then, almost with a sigh, she added, “But that’s just Alaska.”
Rac!al and ethn!c slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.

P.S.
For those who didn't know or have forgotten, when Sarah Palin became mayor of Wasilla, she didn't want or didn't know how to do the actual job so she hired an administration to do the actual work for her at $60,000 a year. All she did was the ceremonial or figurehead work.

When Sarah Palin quit as governor of Alaska, I wrote that she was quitting because she always intended the job to be just a stepping stone (just like Bush as governor of Texas); she had to leave before she had any record in it.
She has no record of achieving anything but jobs. Once she gets a job, before she can muck it up, she parlays the job into a new, better one, in a higher office. Think Robert Morse in "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" -- That's Sarah Palin's blueprint for life, on how to get to the top.

Sarah Palin's not i politics because of passionate ideological beliefs; she's in it for the money & the glory.
She's not stup!d; she knows her limits. What she's selling is her 'packaging' -- Her looks, her ability to deliver a speech, to land punches, and motivate a particular voting bloc on election day to cast their ballots for Republicans. She's willing to be the 'front' ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074554/ ), which works for her puppetmasters who don't want nor need public recognition. All they want is to control the power of the office of the president & Congress.
If you want to know who is controlling her, begin by googling Fred Malek (her escort to the Alfalfa Club dinner post-2008 election).
Sarah Palin wants the presidency & she's willing for someone else (a 'kitchen cabinet', like what Reagan had) to tell her what to do.
Palin's ambition & beliefs about public service & politics are really the ultimate in cynicism. And after Ronald Reagan made it to WhiteHouse (and Dan Quayle became VP, & Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California, and W became president), who's to say she's wrong?
It's all show biz.
The real lesson of the 2000 election was that the old line that in America, "anyone can grow up to become the president" was true. Not the best nor the brightest, but the candidate with the best marketing team.

No, you're missing the point, and it speaks even worse for Sarah Palin.
She's laying the groundwork for when his book does out. She threw a fit because she needs to have some reason for whatever he does write about her once his book comes out.
I guarantee you that her reaction to his renting the house, the twittering, the Facebook comments, building the fence, was all the brainchild of some high-price public relations/political operatives. It could even have been from R0ve himself.
Reports are that she's got some very heavyweight money flowing to her, through groups that spring up out of nowhere and just as quickly break up so that tracing them is extremely difficult.
