Using Bush's actions to legitimize Obama's actions is somewhat stupid.
No, it's really stupid.

Here is an example of a stupid comment: "So everything in history
gets erased?"


I absolutely agree with the first sentence.

I don't know if the second quoted comment is stupid or ill-informed. Orwell
had an interesting take on history... "Those who control the present control
the past." From this we certainly need to be wary. I support Obama and his
policies, but no one gets a free ride and the present administration must be
held to the same high standards that we would hold those from the past - no
revisionist history need apply. Just as those who "forget the past are
doomed to repeat it," we need to ensure that the past is accurate. Bottom
line, the facts and the lies need to be exposed to sunlight.



If we hold the Obama Admin to the same standards as the Bush Admin,
we'll be holding it to no standards at all.
