How Bush watered down civil rights

[Louisiana1976]

Like many veterans of the Justice Department, Alan Jenkins, who served as assistant to the solicitor general under Clinton, is saddened by what happened under Bush: "It's a tragedy . . . and it's going to take years and years to rebuild." No administration "has had to start from scratch the way the Obama administration has," notes Jealous.

That quote pretty much sums up all areas that the Obama administration has been met with. From the collapsing of the economic system to education to EPA to a host of departments under Bush that Obama is left having to rebuild from scratch.

But, the destruction of the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department is just horrendous.
