If Obama Takes The Oath, He Must Prosecute Bush

by Lets Elect A Progressive President In 2012    Tue Jan 13, 2009

In one week, Barack Obama will take this oath:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

With the stunning admission George Bush made yesterday at his press conference that he knowingly approved of torture, and with Cheney’s arrogant come-and-get-me remarks on the same topic recently, Barack Obama is bound and compelled by the United States Constitution and the oath he has taken to open a full investigation and trial against George Bush and his administration.

If Barack Obama does not open an investigation and trial against George Bush, his oath will be a sham and he will have failed to comply with the very words he has taken as his oath on the very first day of his presidency.

He will have become complicit to the Bush crime.
