[kj] OT: Tender, moving YouTube video

[Karen Weil]

Exactly, Folk. I'm not trying to say "Obama is just like Bush, etc." 
There are no easy answers here -- whatever the new admin's flaws, let's hope it doesn't lower itself the scummy depths that BushCo did. 
And, "thank God it's Friday!" (Had to end the message on a completely useless and trivial not, you know!)  ; ) 

k.w.

  Yes, but a lot of these political realities are a direct result of the former admin's policies.

  Hmmmm.... not sure. Right now, the admin. has way too much to deal with. In a perfect world, Bush & Co. would be held responsible for their indiscretions, but I'm not holding my breath. 
  Political realities are political realities, regardless of who is in charge.
  *Sigh ...*

    On a sidenote. Do you think the Bush administration is going to be held accountable, or do you think the new admin will sweep it all under the carpet?
