"Manners, that is exactly the problem." And yet, you were upset with "you lie" during the SOTU.

If you think about it, Clinton and Carter were the one's with freedom there. As ex-presidents, they can say whatever the hell they want to - even the truth, that Bush was the worst president of modern times, invaded a country that was no threat to us for what turned out to be no reason at all and capped his presidency by collapsing the global economy and allowing the worst recession since the Great Depression. But Obama has to go back to Washington and hopefully get a few Republicans to vote for his agenda. The fact is, although we think one is slightly better than the other, BOTH parties represent slightly different factions of the ruling class, the wealthy and corporations, not us. No matter where they were before they were president, after, they are part of the ruling elite.
