Obama Team Feared Coup If He Prosecuted War Crimes
• Adrew Kreig, OpEdNews, Justice Integrity ProjectPresident-Elect Obama’s advisors feared in 2008 that authorities would oust him in a coup and that Republicans would block his policy agenda if he prosecuted Bush-era war crimes, according to a law school dean who served as one of Obama’s top transition advisors.
University of California at Berkeley Law School Dean Christopher Edley, Jr., left, the sixth highest-ranking member of the 2008 post-election transition team preparing Obama's administration, revealed the team's thinking on Sept. 2 in moderating a forum on 9/11 held by his law school (also known as Boalt Hall). Edley sought to justify Obama's "look forward" policy on Bush-era lawbreaking that the president-elect announced on a TV talk show in January 2009.

SOMETIMES politics trumps the "rule of law"?! Give me a break!
It's effectively unknowable but it is very likely, anywhere in politics, that running for office is a metaphor for "running from the law"!
Shit, he is black Bush. He works for the same masters.
