Radley Balko of Reason Magazine offered this unsolicited advice to Obama.
Investigate the Bush administration.
Your running mate, Joe Biden, said during the campaign that an Obama administration would thoroughly investigate the Bush administration for evidence of criminal and ethical wrongdoing. There will be pressure not to. You'll hear arguments from Washington's standard-bearers that to do so would be mean-spirited, backward-looking, or partisan. You'll hear the claim that aggressively investigating your predecessor will set a bad precedent, whereby future administrations will investigate their predecessors every time the White House changes parties.
Ignore them. Because the Bush administration has been so secretive, we aren't even yet sure of the damage done, particularly by Vice President Cheney and his lackeys, the Office of Legal Counsel. If you're serious about undoing the harm done to the Constitution by this administration, you'll need to know the extent of the damage. That includes not only members of Bush and Cheney's immediate staff and top-level advisers, but looking into politically motivated and possibly malicious prosecutions by the current administration's U.S. attorneys.

Don't woory about that. The mobster boy will be plenty enough busy covering his own tracks to be worried with the past. You Bush whackers should save the whacking for yourselves.
This country is a shining beacon of freedom, the greatest since the beginning of time. The most generous, the most civil, the most loving, the most caring, and more fair than any other.
At least it will be again after an eight year hiatus and January 20, 2009.
is there any real proof that he lied?
Or was he lied to?
Or did he pay the liars to tell him the lies he demanded he be told to justify the illegal invasion of a sovereign country? Did he have any influence whatever over the ones who "lied" to him? Did he suggest what the reports should show and not show?
Has he ever NOT told a lie, or does he lie in his sleep?
Wow, a democrat led congress found fault with the republican white house. big suprise there.
A report issued Thursday by the Senate Armed Services Committee has provided official and bipartisan confirmation that the infamous acts of torture carried out by US personnel at Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo were planned, ordered and orchestrated by the highest-ranking officials in the US government. Based on the Senate's own conclusions, those named in the document, including President George W. Bush, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, are guilty of war crimes.
No surprise here...another Bush supporter and enabler that does not know what "bipartisan" means.
