The Guy From Hope

People have been wondering for some time, if elected President, how Barack Obama would go about uniting the country. Now we know. By criminalizing Republicans.

"We will not be stopped from pursuing any criminal offense that's occurred," Biden said Monday at a Florida campaign stop. "If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued — not out of vengeance, not out of retribution, (but) out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president — no one is above the law.

Now that's a plan to end the divisiveness in Washington!

This will play well with those segments of the Democratic Party where the hardware that keeps them hinged to reality has come loose. To treat their Bush Derangement Syndrome, nothing less than retaliation will do. And no matter how much Biden denies it, vengeance and retribution are driving the threats.

Apparently, the Obama camp fears losing the wacko wing of the party as it abandons the principles that won it the nomination.

With all the challenges facing the next administration... surely the last thing America needs is to be torn apart by the spectacle of small-minded, self-centered politicians seeking revenge on their opponents.
