... to arrest ALL the Bush Crime Family perps in one feel swoop.
Instead, he went and acted like ... well, like there was nothing unusual or questionable about
attending this dedication with a straight face ... acting like G.W.Bush was "a good man" <-- Obama's exact words>
This whole thing makes me nauseous, so I've pretty much ignored it, until this post.
