14. Why do so many here that condemn what bu$h did, defend it when Obama does the same thing?

Or did they really not condemn the killing bu$h did, but just said they did?
How can one person killing innocents to perpetuate a war, be bad and with his successor, the same killing of innocents is given a pass?

Those that excuse the killings done by Obama because he is a (D), quite often use extreme black/white terms like "HATE" to describe those of us that object to those same killings by Obama. This extreme, either/or is Right wing-nut actions on their part. There is no middle ground for them there.
