As soon as President Obama was inaugurated, I suddenly forgot who that other guy was. I remember the Clinton years, when I had fun protesting the WTO.  I remember Jimmy Carter, and I even remember during Reagan years watching some good movies and rollerskating to Duran Duran, Wham, Prince, and Taylor Dayne.  But sometime after 2000 there's kind of a vague recollection of something distasteful, I'm not sure what.  I remember playing some video games and hosting some fundraisers, and then the Obama years, ah, much better, I think I'll remember those.
I remember Slobodan Milosevich, and the guy who grew a big beard and hid for awhile but eventually was found and tried at the Hague for War Crimes. And I remember seeing this guy in a wheelchair at Obama's Inauguration, he looked like Mr. Potterfrom It's a Wonderful Life.  Maybe this guy, along with the guy in that video game, will end up in a war crimes tribunal too.  Until then, who?  Sorry, busy rebuilding America.
