Because people only care about who's in office at the time, this to me says this problem isn't going away.

I agree that a lot of people base their criticisms on the letter next to the presidents name, and not any sort of actual ideals. This is a problem, however, not everyone does that.

My response was to the acting like there are no new revelations here, and that Bush got away with everything while Obama can't get away with squat because of the color of his skin. That is simply a distraction and demonstrably false on top of it.

I should also add: suspecting is not the same as knowing
