Dems will continue to be on their hysterical and frenzied rampage, going after anything and everything having to do with Repubs and especially Bush 43 and his administration. It's called payback for what Repubs did to Clinton, Gore and Kerry.






Using YOUR logic, the republicans get a free pass on EVERYTHING, because they witch hunted Clinton when he was in office?

TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.?

Try reading it yourself moron, Bush VIOLATED the Constitution which would fall under protecting if from enemies that are domestic. Bush tried to ignore or reinterpret the Constitutiion to match what he wanted to do. Gosh you people are crazed.

Amen - I see this as an attempt to keep the press busy from talking about his Spending money that is NOT in keeping with his own paygo policy.

It is time for the Press to WAKE UP!!!!

If they can't - it is time for them to BE REPLACED by press that can.

Wow! SOme of you nuts need quit the GOP and join the National Socialist party. You rant about Obama being socialist/communist and ask for the totalitarian societies your so scared of. I guess as long as it meets you word views it's okay. We've already fought a World War to crush a society like that, please don't try to create another.

"What's going to be the positive result from airing out and ventilating details of what we already knew took place and should never have? And we are committed to making sure it never happens again," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I do not excuse it. I am just saying: What's the effect on America's image in the world?


"What's going to be the positive result from airing out and ventilating details of what we already knew took place and should never have? And we are committed to making sure it never happens again," Air Marshall Goring said at his trial." "I do not excuse it. I am just saying: What's the effect on Germany's image in the world?


If only John could have coached the defendants at Nurenburg....

It's VERY, VERY simple....... the rule of law applies to everyone, no matter whether they are an ex-President or a terrorism suspect captured in Afghanistan. It doesn't matter if the charge is torture or terrorism. EVERYONE is innocent until proven guilty in a fair trial, and ALL evidence should be made public. The real problem is (and always has been) trying to hide the truth, because it will always emerge in the end. Obama should take note...............

AMEN!!!

Yes, but he sure as hell did not keep America safe before 911. apoligies to the rest of the world were necessary because the Bush/Cheny crowed made more enemies than friend, especially with the big lie about Iraq. The spending by Obama is a necessary evil that was foised on the new president by the inept bungling of Bush-Cheney.

Keep an eye on Cheney.Bet ya this time he will show up on TV with some buddies.

wrong on ALL counts. What you are seeing is a lot of howling mad people who saw repubs scream about any regulation, invade another mideast country on fabricated evidence for oil,witness an unpresidented economic CRASH, throw bottles and cans at the people trying to avoid a COMPLETE economic nose dive into the ground. And in January the only thing your Repub famous leaders could come up with was... "Tax Breaks For The Wealthy". "Let EVerything Crash,That Will Teach Those Millionairs A Lesson".

I hope this is the "straw that broke the camel's back". President Obama's reticence to prosecute members of the former administration could be understood on different levels.

But this is snowballing out of control. My country needs to own up to egregious acts known, and incvestigate objectively the shadowy pit of probable sociopathic and illegal activities of the recent past.

Make a break from "reluctance" - there now needs decisive action to rid all Americans from the stench of pathological disregard for the welfare of anyone. The first step is to charge those that directed such shameful state behavior with violations of American and international law and treaties.

The more we allow this to be couched in "political correctness", the stronger the stench that issues from the shores of our once-beautiful country. It's time for a good cleaning. If our President acts in accordance to our needs and locks up the treasonous creeps who made America the stinking, violent aggressor she has become, then he has my vote for next term.

Even if he can't "fix the economy" he inherited, this alone would be sufficient for me to sing praise and, once again, have unqualified pride in being an American.
