So far, no 'oops' this administration has made compares to the willful deceit perpetrated by the previous administration in dragging the nation into a secondary, unnecessary and more costly war by deliberately misleading its public.
There's an attempt currently in the politi-shpere to scandalize many issues and disingenuously connect them to the current President.
Apples are not the same as yellow-caked oranges.
Why is it a comparison? How about Bush stunk and so does Obama? And both did and do.
They both are crony-capitalists. Both of them. Why do some refuse to see that Obama's cabinet is lined with Goldman-Sachs? He's not any more for the little guy than Bush was. He is also every bit as much a warmonger and a trampler of the Constitution.

No man is perfect, but some are better than others.
Someone once said...
Let no more be said about faith in man, but bind him down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution.
It doesn't matter anymore what little letter is after their name. We have traitors on both so-called sides of the aisle.

Part of what initiated the actions by the IRS has been a series of so-called tea party organizations that were actually owned and operated fronts for certain corporations and corporate-funded non-profit organizations. I.e., exploit of npo status for mass-lobbying (above what is allowed) and for direct influence on campaigns (not allowed for npos). If any mistake was made here, it was to specifically target tea party organizations associated with npos, but I think they can demonstrate "reasonable cause" if pressed.
From what I have researched, that was not the case, Hellstromm. What the government did is so unconstitutional, it shouldn't matter whether you like the tea party or not. A government that can do it to them, can do it to you tomorrow. Principles matter. The sad thing is that Americans used to know that.

Bush and Blair should be tried as war criminals.
Probably and probably a lot of others too.
What do you think should happen to Obama for approving the drone murder of the American citizens, Al Awlaki and in a separate attack, his 16 year old son?
Ya just gotta love the President's "Kill list". America's Founding Fathers must surely be rolling over in their graves. And hey, wasn't Obama going to close Gitmo like 5 years ago? Yet, how many people are still there who have not only not had a trial, but have not even been charged? I also remember the Democrats raising hell about the wars, as they should have, but it's ok when Obama does it? Our government overthrows the government in Libya and hands it to Al Qaeda? What's up with that? And now, the warmongering neocons on both sides of the aisle are wanting to give aid/arms to the Syrian "rebels" who are allies of Al Qaeda. Something is wrong with this picture, folks.
There is very little real difference in actions between the two major parties anymore. Sure, the rhetoric is different, but not really the actions. They are both sold out to the highest bidder.
