I think it's the magnitude and severity of the different issues.
Someone using a graphic illegally seems like jaywalking compared to the war in Iraq which seems more like a homicide. Some people are just too wrapped up in the concept of a crime being committed versus the type of offense and how it really affects our nation.
To tell the truth, Vinylboy, I agree with you about the magnitude and severity differences.
However, the law IS the law. Since his campaign broke the law (I'll be generous here and go out on a limb and say Obama didn't actually tell someone to go and make it) someone in the campaign needs to be fined for breaking the law.
Regardless of whom the President is, I'm a tad bit sick and tired of people running down the imagery of the President of the United States. This has been going on for decades now. I'd like it to stop and one way to stop it is to enforce current laws about it.
Do I expect anyone to go to jail over this?
Nope.
Do I want anyone to go jail over this?
Never.
However, the law is the law and in this case it was broken and everyone knows it. The fine needs to be paid.
