Nothing to do with the story, but I was shocked to learn that Andrew Breitbart is Orson Beans’ son-in-law.

Never could have imagined...

sounds to me like he is telling Bush up front that he had better make some serious blanket pardons.

I heard on the radio that Obama might go after whoever was responsible for holding some terrorist’s head under water (around five years ago), which ended up saving thousands of lives.

I wish I had more details.

Obama will put the terrorists “rights” before American lives.

Clearly a non-committal response in hope of keeping the frothing communists distracted. It worked for Nancy in San Fran. I somehow doubt that pre-election rhetoric is high on 0’s current to-do list.

IMHO - it’s more about keeping people in the Bush administration quiet, and not making waves or looking under the rocks to expose the O’bummer crew for what they really are....

I doubt even Bambi is foolish enough to go along with the leftist wet dream of prosecuting members of the Bush Administration for “war crimes”.

It is interesting that Obambi may be testifying in court before any Bush Administration Officials do.

> “That doesn’t mean that if somebody has blatantly broken the law, that they are above the law. But my orientation’s going to be to move forward.”

That one could come back to haunt him. He may want to consider carefully whether he really wants to be held to that same standard in four years time. He probably has more skeletons in his closet and dirty secrets that he’d prefer kept out of the public eye than any of the Bush officials do.

This could get interesting in a short short.


While no admirerer of Bush, I can see any "trials" of him, or his administration, for actions taken the last eight (was that all it was?) in office, as just the spark needed for some good old house cleaning.

Nobody is above the law? Why can’t Barack Obama/ Barry Soetero. or whatever his name is, prove where he was born as required by the U.S. Consitution?

Barack Obama said Sunday he was not ruling out possible prosecution for abuses committed under the George Bush administration, saying no one "is above the law".

I'm sorry to pee on the left's BDS parade, but it's not going to happen.

Then again, I lied, I'm not sorry.

"Obviously we're going to be looking at past practices and I don't believe that anybody is above the law," Obama said.

Surely, he'll be looking in a mirror, won't he?

zerO wouldnt be the first despot in history to divert people’s attention from their misery and his regime’s excesses and failures- by staging spectacles of blood sport.

Washington is ripe for a good ol’ fashioned inquisition.
But Cheney’s heart might give out before they can try and convict him, unless they move quick. Plus it ought to be good for creating a few new jobs, like popcorn sellers

There is no question that Obama won the election but I am beginning to feel that he thinks he has more of a “mandate” than he does. 53% to 46% is a good solid win but it was not a 10 point blowout! 46% still voted against him!

I wonder if Obama is underestimating the growing anger in the far right, a growing anger which could grow more radical if he goes after members of the Bush administration? He doesn’t need this and it could eventually undermine what he hopes accomplish as well as set up the far right for some victories in 2010.

Barry O., be careful what you wish for!

Obama may want to be careful on this.

He has announced big plans to gut the measures Bush put into place after 9/11 that have worked very well in keeping us safe, like listening in on terrorist phone calls.

After the changes are in place, and the inevitable attack happens as a result, there will be millions of enraged Americans who won't be concerned about how the Bush administration "tortured" terrorists.

Obama might wisely think about leaving well enough alone. He is in the process of creating too many serious problems for himself that he's going to have to worry about without prosecuting people for "war crimes"- people who successfully prevented another attack on this country.
