Obama is as bad as Blagojevich, and Bush is much worse

For the past few weeks, the nation has been obsessing over the routine sale of a United States Senate seat. Apparently, Governor Blagojevich offered the seat to a number of politicians if they were able to obtain for either a) money or b) a job. It appears to me that the only thing different between this appointment and every other election or piece of legislation is that Rod used too many words in the sale and not enough winks and nudges.
If you recall, it wasn't long ago that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were in "negotiations," or as I like to call it, bartering, for the conditions that Clinton would quit the primary race. If there wasn't some sort of exchange of favors being debated, why was it necessary to have negotiations and deliberations. Shouldn't it have been a simple matter of dropping out and endorsing? I guess n0t, because Hillary played her campaign to the hilt, long after she had no chance of winning. It appears that is paying off now, because right after she dropped out, Obama arranged for his massive fundraising apparatus to help relieve Hillary's campaign debt, and then once he won the election, he designated her to be his Secretary of State. In other words he obtained for her a) money and b) a job. What's the difference? Obama has better security.
Now Blagojevich is getting impeached, even though his crimes are everyday crimes of politicians. There are people in our government, who have done much graver crimes and who appear to be getting away with it with no consequences at all. I am of course talking about George W. Bush and his gang of thugs. Bush didn't ask for money for his appointments, simply undying loyalty to his insane evil schemes. This led to people like Michael Brown, the former head of FEMA, Alberto Gonzalez, the former Attourney General, and Harriet Miers, the functional illiterate woman that Bush tried to get on the Supreme Court. Bush and his buddies have taken away our right to defend ourselves in court when arrested, our right to be secure in our communications, has slaughtered thousands of innocent people and American soldiers in foreign lands, has lied to the American people, and have tortured people, often innocent people who weren't even accused of wrong-doing.
So there's nothing special about ol' Rod Blagojevich. Every politician ignores the law, and make their decisions based only upon their own self-interest. They do this because laws are for the subjects, not for the princes.
