If George W. Bush took the action or made the statement that Obama did, would I be critical?
If the answer is yes, and you are not treating Obama the same, why the hell not?

----------
The present administration is continuing and extending the wars, which the previous one started. They already sent more troops to Afghanistan. They expanded that war inside Pakistan, which has already forced 1,5 million people to leave their homes as refugees. Obama's administration has continued the criminal practices to keep people arrested in jails without any trials. Torturing of the prisoners has continued. They have protected the torturers from any charges against their crimes. They have made the laws stronger protecting the president's office from any criminal charges against unlawfully spying people.
I think I'll ask Frank Apisa to come over and comment.
