Reply #5: Yuck. And what Obama said is double yuck.

I am a pretty compromising person, but on this issue, I simply cannot do it. I thought we were going to teach a lesson, that that would be the legacy of the swiftboating of 2004 -- that those who participated in the smears would PAY and KEEP PAYING for the rest of their lives, or until they expressed regret for what they did.

But now we see if you have enough money you can do whatever you want and all will be forgotten.

Very discouraging.
