This smacks of the man who, having killed his parents, demands special treatment as an orphan. Under GWB, the GOP gutted the oversight functions everywhere, as they do when things are going well, then wail that they didn't work in their diminished form when they are really needed. Even worse, having seen the need for greater oversight, effectively denied BHO enough authority to right the ship -- not that BHO was a paragon in this regard either.
We are a government of human beings. No institution can overcome galloping hubris when it is exercised by those in power.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
