Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush (Biden says criminal violations will be pursued)
The Guardian ^ | 4 Sep 08 | Elana Schor

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November.

Biden's comments, first reported by ABC news, attracted little notice on a day dominated by the drama surrounding his Republican counterpart, Alaska governor Sarah Palin.

But his statements represent the Democrats' strongest vow so far this year to investigate alleged misdeeds committed during the Bush years.

"If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued," Biden said during a campaign event in Deerfield Beach, Florida, according to ABC.

"[N]ot out of vengeance, not out of retribution," he added, "out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president -- no one is above the law."

. . . this is all out war with the Democrats.

Yes it is. I wonder how many military operations were not taken these past few years against our Islamic enemies because President Bush had to check his six o'clock, keeping watch on the enemy within, the democrat party.

They won’t. This is just a ploy to get the wacko’s in line. Remember Pelosi said the same thing. They will not go after President Bush...I would bet money on it.

What kind of idiots while running for president want to start a tradition where outgoing presidents are summarily arrested and tried for crimes?

Good point. I suppose these kind:

As if I needed another reason to add to my already immense dislike of Biden, he says this. I guess the Dems really are interested in a civil war.

"Is this just down right stupid, or what?"

Is Biden secretly on our side?

Or has he upped his daily dose of "dumbass"?

Sarah may have just made the starting point of this pursuit to be from a community organizer and failed presidential candidate.

Well, they just sewed up the crackpot fringe of their base...but that is about all.

They talk of going forward for change, but all they can do is obsess about the past.

They’ve said so much of nothing, that what they say has now become so much of nothing!

The good old "change" message kind of gets watered down with Joe driving 50MPH in REVERSE.

All this is seriously hurting Bush’s chances of re-election this November.

What an IGNORANT, POLITICAL AND UN-AMERICAN THING TO SAY.
Both these men (and I use that term loosely) are US Senators. IF president Bush had comitted any crime, it would have been their sworn duty as US Senators to have acted on that charge. Since they have not, that means there ACTUALLY IS NO CRIME, just a desire from some losers to exact revenge. Obama and Biden are Politcal Animals and I mean that in the vilest of terms. That there are Americans that seem willing to give them leadership of our Nation scares the crap out of me. What has our Nation come too ??

Making this statement makes Obama/Biden look small and vindictive.

Caught a video this morning on the TV of Obama. He sounded defensive and shaken. You could almost smell the fear.
