Superb! And good questions too!
The whole republican witch hunt for what was a personnal mistake by a otherwise great man was shocking. The stuff that bush,cheney and co got away with in the last 8 years was shocking by comparision and the Democrats didn’t really provide any real opposition during those eight years. Hopefully Obama can get the USA back on track, the last 8 year have been a sad and terrible was by the republicans.
