Of COURSE the Repubs intend to create a furor and stop government (if they can) by demanding investigations...it's their modus operandi. They did it with Clinton...to little avail...and they had no interest in investigating the MANY and OBVIOUS unconstitutional and illegal actions of Bush. That the Dems realize that's old news and chose to get on with the business of legislating doesn't mean the Repubs will change their tactics, which you have to give them credit for, are as disruptive as they intend them to be. Hell, they've clearly said that's what they'll do...they'll continue to use any tactic at their disposal to bring Obama down, reasonable or not...what happened to that "Waterloo" by the way?

If anyone EVER deserved to be investigated, it was Bush, who did things which are ACTUALLY detrimental to our country, our laws and our Constitution...not to mention the Bill of Rights. Clinton lied to Congress about having sex. If every President who had illicit sex, then lied about it, were investigated, America would be tied up in knotts forever. So Clinton got investigated out the wazoo--and if ANYONE deludes themselves it was for the reason stated, they are living in a fantasy world; it was political. Where was the right when it came to Bush's incredibly egregious activities? Silent as the grave. Now they want to investigate Obama...who has done nothing illegal or unconstitutional, but they'll drag it out anyway, you know it and I know it. Something of a dichotomy there...which you won't accept, nor will any of your cohorts, I have no doubt.

Name-calling is the last resort of a coward, you know. Not that I care, I just noticed it after someone else remarked on it.

Quote: You mean all those activities which were deemed proper and with in the bounds of his Constitutional duties ?
Quote:Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann said yesterday that if Republicans will the House in November, "all we should do" is subpoena and investigate the Obama administration.
Quote: President Barack Obama has stubbornly taken a “look forward, not backwards” philosophy to possible criminal acts during the Bush administration. But Republicans are sending signals that they will not take such an approach if they are able to win back the U.S. House of Representatives in the November elections. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is strongly indicating that he will launch numerous investigations of the Obama administration if he becomes chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Issa made it clear that aggressive investigations are coming if he replaces Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-NY) as chair of the Oversight Committee.
Quote:Republican senators used a hearing Thursday with Attorney General Eric Holder to discourage an investigation into torture under the Bush administration. Both Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Richard Shelby of Alabama suggested that they would push hard to expand any probe of the CIA's "rendition" program and other legally and morally questionable tactics to include the Clinton administration, as well as members of Congress who were briefed on interrogation methods.
Quote: Majorities Favor Some Form Of Investigations Against Bush Administration A significant plurality favor outright criminal probes, though they are not a majority. Another portion prefer an independent investigation by a special panel: Possible attempts to use Justice Dept. for political purposes: Criminal investigation, 41%; Investigation by independent panel, 30%; Neither, 25% Possible use of telephone wiretaps without a warrant: Criminal investigation, 38%; Investigation by independent panel, 25%; Neither, 34% Possible use of torture in terror interrogations: Criminal investigation, 38%; Investigation by independent panel, 24%; Neither, 34% As you would expect, majorities of Democrats favor criminal probes, Republicans largely oppose doing anything, and independents correspond pretty closely with the top-line numbers. Gallup leads in their analysis with the criminal-probe response being a minority, but this seems to miss the larger point: A majority clearly favor doing something to investigate the Bush Administration.
