Obama Denounces Current Politics

In his statement today Obama said the following:
"This decision to commute the sentence of a man who compromised our national security cements the legacy of an Administration characterized by a politics of cynicism and division, one that has consistently placed itself and its ideology above the law. This is exactly the kind of politics we must change so we can begin restoring the American people's faith in a government that puts the country's progress ahead of the bitter partisanship of recent years."
I, for one, am glad that Obama has come out and demanded a serious sentence for Sandy Berger. To think that a man like Berger would willingly commit a felony by stealing classified documents and destroy them yet face no penalty shows the decay in our system.

Oh, wait...Obama was decrying the partial clemency for the victim of Nifong-esque witch hunt? Guess the 'politics of cynicism and division' are alive in well in the Barrack Barack.
