I'm not sure if you get it, but in "corruption" a politician is shown to have benefited, financially or politically, for actions that were illegal.

If it is anything other than that, it is NOT corruption. If you want to argue there was money that was not well accounted for, lord knows that's true -- not only for GWB but for Clinton.

BUT NONE OF IT COMPARES WITH THE $800 BILLION BOONDOGLE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SUFFERED BEGINNING FEB. 2009. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

GWB, in particular, spent a couple billion in FEMA money wastefully, trying to make up for a perceived slow response. That's on him. But we're talking A COUPLE BILLION versus 800 BILLION wasted by Obama.

I mean, really. It is hardly worth mentioning.
