Irony: from the Ancient Greek meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance. Perhaps more appropriate than the Oxford dictionary definition.
For over seven years, now into its eighth year, we have had one party with one chant - human rights and how Bush seemed to violate them everywhere he went and everywhere the US went. The Democratic party attacked him mercilessly on this issue - from Abu Ghraib to Guantanamo Bay to the secret CIA prisons ... hearings and questions, rhetorical questions feigned by interested parties and a publicly stated interest to see America great again, drove the cause of attacking Bush. Questioning his cozy relationship with the Saudis, questioning everything he did, from day 1 until the day he left office.
Forget the tens of millions the Saud family donated to Bill. Forget Obama curtsying to the King (I would say he bowed but Obama denies he did so we'll call it a curtsy), and forget the fact Hillary marched off to China and never once raised the issue of human rights abuses and the tens of thousands of Tibetans who have been murdered by the PRC.
Once again, a woman, in China, has failed to utter a word about Chinese human rights violations - Nancy Pelosi. The woman who felt betrayed by the CIA not telling her about torture is in China where they do torture everyday, to virtually anyone they can get their hands on, and she has failed to say anything - yet again.
Irony?
Obama
