It’s 9/11: Eraser-in-Chief ♥ Bullshitter-in-Chief

When Barack Obama rebuffed calls for an independent truth commission, choosing not to investigate George W. Bush and his cronies as war criminals, he forfeited whatever moral authority he might have had as president. In his Aug. 31 Oval Office speech announcing “the end of the combat mission in Iraq” he even heaped praise on Bush for his so-called patriotism. At yesterday’s White House news conference he actually said, “One of the things that I most admired about President Bush was, after 9/11, him being crystal-clear about the fact that we were not at war with Islam.” Does he really believe that? Does he think anybody believes that? What else does Obama “most admire” about his predecessor? He must be kidding.
