Obama originally got away with not investigating Bush and Cheney, protecting them, by saying "Now's not the time" -- As if "Later" will be (the time).
That's precisely what Bill Clinton did regarding Bush41 and the Iran-Contra scandal, and we are still paying the price for that. Bush-Cheney never would have happened had Reagan-Bush been investigated and prosecuted.
If we were to actually buy that BS, when it got to be '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, and the fleecing continues. Nothing has been repaired, nothing has been put into place to prevent another economic meltdown. The police have now been militarized and legislation is being prepared to eviscerate what's left of the Constitution and American citizens' rights. Peaceful protesters exercising their Constitutional right of free speech are being brutalized in the public square.
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 (Jeb BUSH & Liz CHENEY).
And if you think that the solution is Democrats, Obama has gone Bush-Cheney one better, asserting that presidents have the right to kidnap, rendition, torture and kill anyone, Americans included, in secret, without accounting to anyone.
