Bush gets emotional in defending his presidency
Political News
AP - With rare public emotion, George W. Bush sat in judgment on his controversial, consequential presidency on Monday, lamenting mistakes but claiming few as his own, heatedly defending his record on disasters in Iraq and at home and offering kindly advice to a successor who won largely because the nation ached for something new.

Nadler: Obama Violating Law By Not Investigating Bush
By Sam Stein
The logic, for Nadler, is straightforward. As a signatory of the convention against torture, and as a result of the anti-torture act of 1996, the United States government is obligated to investigate accusations of torture when they occur in its jurisdiction. Ref. Source 9
According to Conspiracy Theorists this will never happen because both Bush and Obama ultimately work for the same group: Bilderberg / Federal Reserve, you can read more about that in this Thread: Source 7

Not to mention, if he starts opening up that can of worms, he might find himself in a bit of hot water towards the end of his term in office. Some of the things that are now starting to come out but yet are still a bit glossed over are pretty shocking behavior and interesting uses of tax payer money.
He really needs to tread lightly in this area for it will come back to bite him.
However, if his approval ratings continue to drop, he might try this in order to keep the mid-term elections about Bush and not on what his administration has done. Wow...for all this "change" it feels like politics as usual for our government. Smells kind of "fishy" to me...

Yes, that is true as there is an unwritten 'tit for tat' policy in the White House. Everyone knows how far to go because no man is an island unto himself at that level so if you bring one down you will have to fight many others too. Obama venomously criticized Bush up until a few days in office and then suddenly just adopting and actually extending everything Bush did! Makes you wonder if the Bilderberg theory has any weight.
