We don’t look backwards, but look forward.

This total lack of accountability is precisely how we got here. Those in power should be held to a higher standard, not be given a free pass for corruption.

Is it fun to quote out of context? It seems risky if it suggests you didn't understand what he was saying about navel-gazing.

Obama was specifically referring to having no desire to prosecute W, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz for their egregious war crimes and lying to the American people to begin a war for plundering oil in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Given OP’s context of subverting justice for the sake of moving on, I find it extremely relevant.
