I try not to confuse current events with how history will portray people or events.

President Obama is still working in the hurricane of current events. Few if any can predict what will happen tomorrow, much less how he will be viewed by historians.

That said, calling any politician a liar just seems to be redundant.

We just may fix the double standard when we get a handle on the triple, quadruple, and quintuple standards. It's not looking hopeful.
I'm just saying, the actions of those under an administration are the responsibility of said administration (much like Nixon and the scandal leading to his impeachment), and if the director of the BATFE is attempting to "doctor" evidence that would allow a violation of 2A he, the president, and anyone else found guilty of being involved should be punished appropriately. Byte puts it well, treason, that is an even more appropriate crime to indict them for.
