That's a shame. We should have tickled him instead. No wait, that'd be "unusual". We should have asked nicely.
So Obama further fucking the economy and the dollar which keeps everyone struggling to make by is not his biggest mistake, but not doing a useless prosecution of Bush for doing what most of us would have done in his position? If you were going to make a point, make it about the unnecessary Iraq war, not the torture. I bet if you were the president and your back was against the wall, having to decide between the welfare of your nation and its people or the welfare of one jackass who wants to end your nation and kill its people, you would have made the same decision.
Obama doesn't want him prosecuted for the torture stuff because he probably knows that if he winds up in the same circumstances, he'd be answering "fo shizzle" too.
By the way, Guantanamo is still open with 174 detainees. Now that Obama is president, do you think they're living the posh life over there or what?
