An Obama adviser made it clear that Obama would not be prosecuting any of Bush's officials for their crimes.

Actually they said he would only prosecute the most egregious crimes, but in my opinion any crime committed by top officials in this country is an egregious crime.
My question is this...Do you think this sends the message that the Obama administration would just be picking up where the Bush administration left off?

I was expecting more from Obama than this. I am very bothered by this statement. We need a president to come in and say NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAWS OF THIS LAND. Then take a stand on the crimes that this administration has been guilty of committing and even passing down the chain of command the famous "torture memos" as the "new policies of the United States of America."
If the next president does not come in and immediately denounce this type of behavior in our government it will only allow for more of the same in the future. And this is no future I want to see. An America without freedom, under military rule is certainly headed our way if we don't stop this now!
