He didn’t apologize for starting the war based on lies and misinformation, for causing the deaths of thousands of loyal Americans, for putting the American economy into a tailspin from which it shows no signs of recovering any time soon. I guess he thought no apology was necessary.

Now that is an achievement to be proud of. I suspect Obama may have a problem with a number of people for the support he gives to the country of Israel. I really, really do not get how someone like Bush made it to the No 1 job. America may not be Utopia…but it is offering up a minority candidate as a potential President.

Lets have you comment some more on strawman targets please? Yes, Racism exists, but it's an crappy thing that all people should fight both in their personal and public lives. Yes, illegal activity for the gain of cash exists, but its not an institutionalized behavior in the western secular world yet. Yes, GW Bush went to war in Iraq, but almost all of the people charged with being his checks and balances agreed that going into Iraq was an either good thing, or an acceptable thing, and voted him both the funds and the power to do so. Sorry to disagree with your tone. Freedom and the right to dissent are also words that can be twisted. Feel free. Vlad Wow, nice liberal hatchet job.
