torture, mercenaries, wars and acceleration of wars, continued presence in Iraq of 50,000 troops and mercs on the ground in both countries, continued military spending, continued torture, continued wiretapping, continued policies with the same people bush had in there..

2. +1.
The good has not offset the bad. The bad things of the Bush years in many instances continue.

Obama is covering up the crimes of the Bush Administration by not taking steps to investigate the things that happened during those years that have raised red flags. Tony Blair is now being investigated in England, and America should be doing the same with Bushco.

The cover up is usually worse than the crime, at least historically it has been, but torture and death due to torture have been strongly suggested as actions approved by Bushco. Those actions should be investigated and prosecuted.

Failure to do so makes Obama and Holder complicit in those crimes. They are as guilty as Bush and Cheney if they do nothing about it.
