Yeah, but Paraguay, where Dubya has bought his huge
retirement ranch, has no extradition treaty with the U.S.

Suzie, You really seem to have a hard-on for Obama.
I don’t think HE is packaging himself as the progressive savior, I think some in the media are painting him as such.

I think that he is just being pragmatic on this issue.

Let’s let them serve out their terms, then try them as war criminals.

A constitutional law scholar should certainly be able to recognize the gravity and intentionality of the many Bush/Cheney excesses, while any practical person can see that there are limited political gains and major political problems involved in actually pursuing impeachment. So why not say both — that impeachment is (emphatically) warranted but not practical? Especially if you believe in upholding the Constitution? That would be truth in packaging, and it wouldn’t require him to do a thing differently… except briefly characterize unconstitutional actions as such.

“I believe if we began impeachment proceedings we will be engulfed in more of the politics that has made Washington dysfunction”

a year ago that wouldn’t necessarily be true, but now there is no doubt in my mind that obama is right. there’s another better method of getting rid of bush/cheney. an impeachment proceeding would take almost as long as bush has left in office. at this point, it would be nothing but a distraction from beating bush’s successors. at this point, mccain and/or romney are much more of a danger to confront.

why are you suddenly insisting on truth in packaging now, when you weren’t holding your own candidate to the same standard? i mean, edwards’ pre-2006 record was not always that progressive at all.
