Just in case there was any doubt that the Obama administration mantra has seeped like poison into the popular consciousness:

The UC-Davis Chancellor responsible for the pepper-spraying of her students, Linda Katehi, today went on Good Morning America and explained why she should not resign or otherwise be held accountable: “we really need to start the healing process and move forward.” On a radio program in the afternoon, she expanded on this view by saying: “We need to move on.” So apparently — yet again — the only way everyone can begin to “heal” and “move forward” is if everyone agrees that those in power with the greatest responsibility be fully shielded from any consequences and that their bad acts be simply forgotten. I wonder where she learned that justifying rationale?

Yep. Whether it’s torturers, child rapists, economic terrorists on Wall Street or vicious sadists running our once-great public universities, the Obama era will be defined by a complete lack of accountability for any wrongdoer with even a tiny amount of power.

God bless America, eh? USA #1! USA #1!
