>> I always post material to refute claims I disagree with, but you just don't acknowledge them I don't know about "almost always" but I do know that in this instance, you have claimed there was an inordinate level of corruption in the GWB administration and I've claimed there was less than in any presidency I can recall -- certainly, we've already seen far more corruption in 11 months of Obama than there was in 8 years of GWB. I would say easily by a factor of 5x or 10x. I've repeatedly asked for examples of corruption in the GWB administration and all that was produced was yet ANOTHER remark posted by CJ and/or bentway about Abramoff, which had no real relationship to the GWB administration. I'm open minded about it. I just ask that if you're going to smear ANY presidency you president evidence of it. I've described the TRUE corruption of the Obama administration -- the UAW payoffs for example, and now trying to appoint a TSA administrator whose most important objective is unionizing the TSA -- these are CORRUPTION. Clear evidence of payment for political gain. You did not see that in the GWB administration. You complain about allowing oil company execs to meet in private with Cheney, yet the most frequent visitors to the Obama WH are union leaders and that doesn't bother you -- AFTER the unions were HANDED GM lock, stock, and barrel by Barack Obama. Really. I cannot imagine anyone who supports the Obama administration DARING to mention corruption. Obama is more corrupt than Nixon EVER was.
